MODERN MASTERPIECE!!

Rating: 10/10 (9 February 2019)

NWR's DRIVE is by far the most underrated movie of all time. The film is visually stunning and Ryan Gosling portrays the quiet and deadly driver with perfection. The reason why a lot of people dislike this movie is because of it's trailers, that promised an action packed thrill ride that just isn't the case. Drive is a character study on a man who wants to be the good guy, but his surroundings and situations drag him further into a life of crime. I think we really need to talk about the cinematography in this film, it's outstanding, every shot feels thought out and composed. Refn loves his visual metaphors and this film is another exemplary example of how art house cinema can be enthralling. I recommend this movie to everyone, just don't expect an action film, although there are brilliant car chases and shocking violence, it isn't the point of the story.
