One of my all time favorites

Rating: 10/10 (26 October 2013)

Drive is fantastic, a modern masterpiece of cinema. I can't put in to words how much I love this movie, but for those reading I'm going to do my best.
Let's start with the cast. Ryan Gosling is brilliant as the main role of the film, one of few words, yet his best performance to date ( with his performance in Fracture a close second). He would almost steal the show if it were not for such an awesome supporting cast. Ron Perlman, Albert Brooks, Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan and Bryan Cranston are truly electrifying.
At no point did the film feel slow for me. It was beautifully shot, rich in symbolism, contained fantastic dialogue,a booming soundtrack,it was very entertaining and the pacing was spot on.
Of course those looking for a movie along the lines of Fast and Furious will find nothing here.(There are only two or so car chases in the film)
Likewise if you're one who strongly detests violence or cringes at it in films, this may not be the film for you as the second half of the film gets very dark and very gruesome, very quickly. SPOILER: Ie: One scene involves a man getting stabbed in the eye with a fork.
Yet if you are somebody who sees more than just entertainment in films, or someone who may have passed it off initially or is unsure about it I urge you all to see it. Drive is art not to be missed.
