Drive is an exceptional movie. I held my breath during the first scene. I held my breath during a lot of scenes. I was, and I didn't want to admit it to myself, but I was excited. Ryan Gosling, who I actually am not attracted to outside of this movie, plays quite the "mutha fuckin' fine ass pussy-mobile, mutha fucka!" (That line was applied to a car in the movie, but whatever) as the nameless driver. We'll call him The Driver, with a capital D.
The Driver is a stunt-driver, mechanic, and most importantly a getaway driver. As a criminal, he never works with the same person twice. He allows his clients five minutes to get their job done, and what happens outside of his car just isn't his problem. And he's violent. Oh, he's violent. I can't explain it, but there's something about watching someone beating the shit out of a person with a hammer that just downright tickles me.
I really don't know how to talk about this movie, or really want to talk about it for that matter. Readers, you just have to see it. I just don't want to spoil anything. The shots, the sunshine, and the scorpion.
I will never know what love is because I am not her right now. |
Please, please see this movie. And when you do, watch his gloves. It might change the ending for you.
Excellent review! And tag. I, too, have a thing for killers. Natural Born Killers is the best romance in my book. But Drive was definitely an awesome movie, mainly because The Driver was such an interesting character. Once again, Gosling proves he can do no wrong. And I love Carey Mulligan. Win-win.
ReplyDeleteI've actually never seen a Ryan Gosling movie before this, but Natural Born Killers is amazing! Certainly a couple I rooted for until the very end, and then beyond!
