Movie Review: Ryan Gosling in the Driver's Seat

by at .

You could sum up Drive in four words: Ryan Gosling owns it.

Although he says next to nothing in the first 20 minutes of the film, opening this weekend, Gosling’s impact is immense - the true hallmark of an A-list star.

Gosling plays Driver, a movie stunt driver who moonlights as a getaway driver for anyone who will hire him, with intensity that makes this a must-see.

With a great lead, cinematography and supporting roles (you can include L.A. itself in that category), Drive is so much more more than meets the eye.

    You know what lets set around watch someone not speak for 30 minutes of the movie, have about 3 action scenes of a physical vehicles being driven for a movie called Driver, have a pointless soundtrack, not get any concept of the main character's life, have no setting of a story, watch people get shanked a few times, and the ending scene is him driving around....I'd rather consume my own feces and dry hump a Black Mamba till it bit my eye sockets, in over 19 years of my life I've never seen a movie that had a title like this and had barely any relevance to the actual driving aspect of this movie...that was 2 hours of my life I could of spent boning my girlfriend or driving my own car around and have more action than this movie.

    I have not seen any references to older movies yet, but this film looks like it received some of it's inspiration from "The Driver" starring Ryan Oneil (1978). I thought the new movie was entertaining, though the plot was fairly predictable. I also enjoyed the music, as it had an 80's feel to it. Overall, an "ok" movie, but the chase scenes from the original movie (The Driver) were better.

    This movie will always keep you in anticipation. You're always trying to tell the characters to talk faster so we can get to the rising action, or to when he is going to go driving. I almost think that a lot of the story was taken out of this movie because there were many parts, especially some important parts (without wanting to mention any), that didn't lead anywhere. Maybe that's why they had to have a long pause between every word they said; so that the movie would last longer.
