Nonstop action.

Rating: 8/10 (11 October 2011)

Ryan Gosling is the next Robert De Niro. When Hollywood decides to do a remake of Taxi Driver, it will be Ryan Gosling playing Travis Bickle. When Hollywood decides to do a remake of the Deer Hunter, it will be Ryan Gosling playing Michael. Ryan Gosling is absolutely fantastic as the driver. His performance not only carries the movie but is entertaining as well. There is nonstop action. The supporting cast is great, especially Albert Brooks who gives a surprisingly powerful performance in a role not typically associated with him. Yet, what makes this movie so good is Mr. Gosling. He brings the the story to life. The story moves rapidly forward as the the plot develops and intensifies, grabbing the audience's attention and keeping the audience engaged. If you like action movies, then this movie is definitely for you.
