| the Bodacious Christina Hendricks |
Drive is a film unlike any other. The film
is a throwback, to true classic car-chase films like Bullet and Point Blank, and
it’s quickly garnering cult status as one of the best car-chase films ever
made.
Refn, has managed to provide a wonderful
blend of his story telling ability, with a sheer artistry in his camera work.

The opening sequence in Drive is testament
of this. We are introduced to Driver (Ryan Gosling), as he gets ready to be a
getaway driver for some thugs, this first scene will immediately suck you into
the film as we get to see the entire get away through the perspective of
Driver, an ingenious move by Refn and makes for one hell of a sequence.
The film has an unassuming mixture of noir,
grotesque violence and an intertwining storyline that at first isn’t as clear
as you would think, and as the film catches momentum the story just unravels
itself.
Ryan Gosling is the true star player in
this film, and has to be one of his best performances to date. He plays this
unknown Driver with an incredible aura, which so few in Hollywood could manage.
The character has a lot of mystery to him, and speaks only when he needs to,
with audience listening intensively as to just hear the next line that Gosling
will deliver.

| Albert Brooks is Fantastic |
However the entire cast of this film, is
incredibly as every person that has a role in this film approaches it with just
the right amount of feeling for their respective characters. Carey Mulligan is
a true star on the rising, and Drive pays testament to this with a quite subtle
yet completely accurate performance by the beautiful star.

| Drive - Instant Cult Status |
Albert Brooks, who is known as a comedic
actor, has probably the best performance of his life playing Bernie Rose, the
primary Antagonist of this film. The beauty of his performance is that he is
subtle in it, so much so, that you not even sure if he really is the antagonist
until the 3rd act.
The film is also has the look and the feel
of heist film in the 80’s with a soundtrack that pushes it into that era,
keeping gritty pulpy feeling to the film with that dash of noir that makes it
an artistic marvel.
General movie audiences might miss this
film, but what we can guarantee you is that this is one of the best films of
the year, and we can assure you when we make our top 10 films of 2011 list
Drive will definitely be Number 1! Its truly fantastic, memorable, CLASSIC!!!
