Definitely lives up to the hype

Rating: 8/10 (13 June 2012)

Having heard Drive was a bit different, i really was not sure what to expect.This is the only Ryan Gosling movie i think I've ever seen.He is the the good/bad guy of the movie, the hero, the driver, he plays the silent, troubled and mysterious type well. His kind of love interest is played by (i swear I've seen her in something before) Carey Mulligan, her on screen chemistry with Gosling is awkwardly good. The movie directed by Nicholas Winding Refn is not what one would initially expected, it finds a perfect balance between being fast paced and calm. It is a unique film, surreal, edgy and violent, it is excellently weird with an eerie 80′s feel to it. All adding up to be a pretty decent film overall.
