Drive

patantdoh recommended this 3 months, 2 weeks ago

Cool, beautiful, intelligent, romantic, violent and strangely uplifting. One of the best films of the last two years.
Avoid watching any of the trailers. They give too much away.

Brilliant sound cuts, dramaturgy.

best movie of the year

"Drive" is one the most beautiful shot movies. The cinematography is amazing and without a doubt stunning. This is the only reason why I gave it five stars. Ryan Gosling's acting can seem awkward at times. Albert Brooks and Bryan Cranston were amazing in this movie. The music is good, but too on-the-nose. This movie is the best music video, and that is not necessarily a bad thing.

Drive is the best film I've seen in a long time. I'm sorry I missed it in theaters. It's a great mix of film noir with just enough action and a dash of the classic western. Ryan Gosling is, as usual, brilliant, giving his nameless character subtle but distinct emotions. The director, Nicolas Winding Refn, is new to Hollywood but I will be checking out his previous and future films.

One of the best movies during 2011

"A Hollywood stunt performer who moonlights as a wheelman discovers that a contract has been put on him after a heist gone wrong." Bryan Cranston should win best supporting actor. I'm not going to say anything more than this: Best movie of 2011.

The best movie of 2011 - period.

A great story about a gentle shark whose inner world is nicely reflected by the soundtrack.

thorefogh recommended this 1 year, 4 months ago

The best movie score in a long time and oh how it embraces the scenes perfectly. What a joy. Call it laid back action!

Love the acting, intensity in the silences and pauses.

Mirick recommended this 1 year, 5 months ago

This is easily one of the best films I have ever seen. It's been a long time since a film made me feel as much as this one did. The only thing I didn't quite like was how they made song lyrics match up too well to what was going on in the film, things like that often ruin my immersion.

Great movie. Gosling was awesome in this.

Paulgi recommended this 1 year, 5 months ago

Ryan Gosling stars as a Los Angeles wheelman for hire, stunt driving for movie productions by day and steering getaway vehicles for armed heists by night. Though a loner by nature, Driver can't help falling in love with his beautiful neighbor Irene (Carey Mulligan), a vulnerable young mother dragged into a dangerous underworld by the return of her ex-convict husband Standard (Oscar Isaac).

2011's best movie

stephenss recommended this 1 year, 6 months ago

One of my new favorite movies! It sets one of the best moods Ive ever seen in a film.

Linhy recommended this 1 year, 6 months ago

I love the art direction in the movie, and it's got an addictive song "A Real Hero" by College

davebirchall recommended this 1 year, 6 months ago

Incredible.
The Look. Atmosphere. Characters. Sound.
Mind-blowing, awe-inspiring.

ajuelias recommended this 1 year, 6 months ago

A strong emotional storyline revolving around love and fate, with enough action and thrill. Drive is possibly one of those rare movies that incorporates great performances from the whole cast,inspiring cinematography and great directing.

beategeibel recommended this 1 year, 7 months ago

i´ve seen it its so good. it has a somewhat feel like Fightclub. Dont get me wrong, Fightclub still is in a different league, but its just the overall look and feeling I got from this great movie

and on top it has Bryan Cranston, Christina Hendricks, Ron Pearlman, Ryan Goßling and a major, freakin fantastic soundtrack with an 80´s feel

clintonduncan recommended this 1 year, 7 months ago

Visually so stylised, yet still worked. Music was great

thebigsovereign recommended this 1 year, 7 months ago

The director has said he wanted to make a combination of a John Hughes movie and Taxi Driver. I saw this with 6 buddies. 4 loved it. 2 hated it. The 70s movie vibe is strong. The pacing is slow. Atmospherics > Plot. Ryan Gosling is a badass. Who knew Albert Brooks could be so menacing?

you know this days movies coming routine in some ways BUT Drive is a Great Break

alangridge recommended this 1 year, 7 months ago

jamesthedford recommended this 1 year, 7 months ago

Drive isn't the cheesy car chasing, gun-slinging action packed movie that it might seem to look like on the surface. The movie delivered cool, smooth, and sexy all in perfect moderation. Ryan Gosling was a complete bad-ass in this movie and the storyline was amazing. From the cinematography to the soundtrack, this movie is worth the money.

normaali recommended this 1 year, 7 months ago

Not much dialog but the little said more than hundred lines of Tarantino's preaches. Camera work, music and the actors all play well together. My favorite movie of the year, possibly even years to come. Maybe this is what Lynch could do if he had evolved to a movie director.

davekeller recommended this 1 year, 7 months ago

crazy good. loved the largely non-verbal performances. almost said more.

alexponential recommended this 1 year, 7 months ago

Slow start, but amazingly tense and well made film.

nateberkopec recommended this 1 year, 7 months ago

Wow. Really was not expecting something this good. Easily will go down as one of the best films of 2011.

royissa recommended this 1 year, 7 months ago

Great film noire ambiance, the tension is always on, performances are down right perfect. Great overall.

Great director, interesting character interaction, awesome visual effects

saraha recommended this 1 year, 7 months ago

Amazing film-- expertly acted, tightly edited and directed, phenomenal soundtrack. Visually, a modern noir vision of Los Angeles. Gosling aptly described it as, "a violent John Hughes movie."

This is what a European Tarantino could have done to Fast Five if you add an insane amount of awesome sauce.

WOW!!! Must Watch!! Subtle Yet Thrills... Loved the Background Scores and the Cinematography!!

Fantastic film. Thrilling and ruminative, with stretches of tranquility broken by startlingly intense violence. Can't recommend it enough.

A very good cast. Great slow/dark/tense atmosphere. Nice music. Good photography. Slightly gore. Go see it!
