“There’s a hundred-thousand streets in this city.” If you don’t see Drive before you die, you’re lost. Subscribe – http://goo.gl/9AGRm
Drive has the premise the Fast and the Furious, but with a heavy dose of art house style. Featuring an extremely laconic Ryan Gosling as the unnamed Driver, this movie manages to make a fanciful premise and a music video-style set of visuals into a cohesive and somehow grounded story – some scenes of extreme violence notwithstanding.
The rest of the cast is stellar as well: Carey Mulligan, Bryan Cranston, Christina Hendricks, and Oscar Isaac all turn in great performances.
Drive was a seminal work for director Nicholas Wending Refn, who is known for having a very collaborative relationship with his actors. Which is perhaps why Ryan Gosling has returned to work with Refn on Only God Forgives.
