« Why is it written in pink? »

Rating: Null/10 (21 September 2011)

« Why is it written in pink? » These were the first words that I heard in the empty theatre. What a pity. I often find empty theatres a good sign when I go; Captain America was full...
Oh well, let me start right off the bat by saying that this is my first review of a movie ever, and that English isn't my mother tongue. So I ask my readers for a small amount of understanding here.
Right, the movie. Drive. Or should I call it : Poetic violence or Contrast. As far as action movie goes, this is not a Bourne movie or Transporter. And it's a good thing. Yeah, I mean, no crazy car chases here, or brainless action for the sake of entertainment. It's as realistic as it comes; the violence, the action, I found it all very believable. I won't argue about the plot, but I found that it was the week link of this movie.
Drive is very stylish; the scenes are shot with great originality and contrast. I particularly loved the elevator scene: so brutal and yet so beautiful.
Ryan Goslin. The guy steels every scene. Great charisma, superb body language. He builds tension. You cheer for him throughout the movie, and by the end, you're not sure why.
The music was outstanding. Flawless. Good job. I'm listening to it as I'm writing.
I don't believe in reviews. I don't like the idea that a so-called «expert» gives his opinion on a movie. Who is he to tell me what I should like? Whatever. That's my honest opinion.
Good movie overall, very fresh. Best movie of the year so far (I'm really wondering about the 10 movies that are going to be nominated with a year like this).
So why is it written in pink? From my point of view, it spoils all the movie; but hey that's me. Thank you for your time. Icem
