5 Star... easily one of the best this year

Rating: Null/10 (18 September 2011)

If you have never watched movies with Steve McQueen or Bronson or Clint from the 60s 70s 80 then you will not appreciate this incredible movie.
To some it may seem slow at times but if Transformers (which I loved) is your benchmark than you will not truly appreciate the greatness that you are watching.
The restraint in talking brings enormous tension to the movie. The night scenes are reminiscent of great movies from the 70s and 80s. Albert Brooks and Ron Perlman are superb in their roles and they could not of cast two more perfect actors.
Carey Mulligan was absolutely superb in her role. She said more with a few looks than most actors do in thousands of words. The tension between her and Gosling was perfect.
The action scenes are perfect. Gosling perfectly portrays a man with great restraint but when necessary does what it takes to get the job done. As Statham's characters tend to be frenetic Gosling's is more restrained but they both have mind blowing action.
All I can say is..See it See it See it!!!!
