Title: Drive (2011)Director: Nicolas Winding RefnCountry: USAI've slowly become something of a fan of Mr. Refn's works and although I was excited for his newest project Drive, my excitement was tempered a bit by the fact that this was the first film he's directed in which he was not the ...

Quentin Tarantino did not reach his unique plane of influence or popularity from his looks or people skills (his best interviews evolve into glorious exercises in sibilation and gesticulation). No, he just knows how to wield a camera well, and how to implement bold post-production techniques to realize his crazy ...

1955. Director Robert Aldrich unleashes a storm of controversy with the release of his nihilistic noir Kiss Me Deadly, with critics charging him of sadism and promoting repugnant ultraviolence. Implied, off-screen onslaught builds the film’s framework, lustily appreciating the agony and mutilation inflicted on others in contrast to the stylized ...

Have you ever been watching a movie you enjoyed but at a certain point the entire experience sours and continues to degrade until the credits roll? It’s a pretty infuriating phenomenon that occurs at a film’s half way point when aesthetics change or the plot takes a dramatic shift away ...

Drive did very few things right. As well executed as it may have been, I found the overall story, characters, character interaction, driving sequences, and ending to be very very lacking. The only thing that I thought was done well in this movie, was the building of tension, the breaking ...

That font just looks plain awesomeRemember how Vin Diesel wanted to make a movie that coincides with the game, Wheelman – years ago but was unable to do so and only had made the game? Well I think Drive is what Diesel wanted to make, following up the story of ...

My biggest pet peeve movie-wise is when people recommend some big dumb summer blockbuster to me by telling me I'll enjoy it if I just "turn my brain off". My mocking response has always been that no, thanks, I like my brain, and I want to keep it entertained too. ...

Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive is an extremely satisfying and fun movie to watch. As Alana put it: “I was so happy with the intro. I couldn’t stop smiling over it.” At times 80s music video, at times operatic 2011 western, Drive delivers a well-paced, fun movie experience. The plot centres ...

When the movie started it had a very 80's fool to it. This continued throughout the movie I was very impressed by the silence of Ryan Gosling and the impact that it had on the people around him. Though the movie did take a 180 towards the end I still ...

i swear i transcended 14 and a half realms whilst watching it, and i almost cried 4 times. but i am too manly for that so i didnt, but almost.and it wasnt even because of saddness.also i feel like i just had 15 and a half orgasms at once.

When I started this reviewing lark, one of the most irritating things I had to do was figure out the lingo that seems to go with it. Hell, at the beginning I only had the faintest idea what a director did, apart from shout a lot and take most of ...

Easily crushing just about every single badass movie you've seen in the last five years, "Drive" will probably go down as the best movie I see in 2011. Note the key word is "probably" there, so don't go getting your panties in a bunch because I haven't declared the movie ...

The best word to describe Drive might be "specific". It is very specific in its style and the tone it tries to create, and you have to have a very specific mindset to enjoy it appropriately. Because despite what you might assume based on the trailers, it is very much ...

Thank Odin, the summer brain-sink is over. Drive is one of the best movies I have seen in a long while. But realize: it isn't a Hollywood action film, nor is it an indie film. It's right in the middle, somehow. It's not trying to be more than it is; ...

Saw the movie Drive over the weekend. It stars Ryan Gosling as a mechanic/movie stunt driver that moonlights as a getaway driver for robbers and other criminals. He gets unknowingly involved in some stolen money (some = millions) and has to act in order to protect himself, his neighbour, and ...

Drive is slow, it's methodical, and it's brilliant. I can see modern audiences clashing with this film because it's paced so slowly at points but those are the parts that take it from 'good' to 'great'. The character of Driver is a man of few words, much like the dark ...

Drive had me in the first few minutes, it then sort of dragged me along, i wanted to continue watching but i was not sure why, it might have been the soundtrack or Carey Mulligan. The end result was satisfactory and left me thinking WTF did i just watch.Ryan Gosling, ...

First, the originality and mystery of the story. Scene 1.. why is he waiting in a car? Why is he wearing racing gloves? Why the radio, the watch? The time runs out...the suspense builds...the case is on... the "bad" guys escape...the hero saunters through a crush of baseball fans hoarding ...

The story of Drive is simple. Shit goes down and the Driver is caught in the middle of it all. I don't think the movie could of benefited from a more complicated story. The film get awfully close to creating a timeless setting for this film. From the trailer I ...

I finally watched "Drive" last night. Heard a lot of buzz about it, both negative and positive, and finally saw it on instant streaming. An arthouse approach doesn't always work for me. But when it all comes together in a cohesive whole, like in Drive, it works. And boy, it ...
