Reminds me of movies from before the industry gave no credit to the viewer

Rating: 9/10 (3 February 2012)

I don't really review movies much, but this one stood out in such a way that I was compelled to write one.
Right away I brace myself for the mediocre, a movie that relies on flashy gimmicks, fast cars and big boobs and slick names, much like what you would expect from movies such as the "Fast and the Furious". Instead the main character doesn't even have a name. I was shocked to find a movie that had such emotional depth and so much suspense, and I mean FULL of suspense. That's saying a lot for a movie where the central character barely talks.
That's another thing, Ryan Gosling's character has so few lines the viewer is left wondering what he's about to do next, with no hint or suspension for the upcoming.
There is a lot of violence in this movie, done very stylistically.
Overall a decent flick, I recommend.
