Drive (2011) Re-Review

5 out of 5

This is not only the best film of the year, but Ryan Gosling's best, and one of the best films in a while. The style is so artistic, the music is awesome, and pace of the film is perfect. Drive is about a driver who is hired for an escape from robberies. He is known for his skill and the fact that there is nothing he can't do in a car. He is very quiet throughout the film but in tense scenes he breaks out of his quietness in anger because of his love for a woman and her son who live in his apartment building. He watches over them until her husband is released from prison. From then on the film becomes a series of violence and revenge. It is so well done and my favorite  movie since Inception. It really did impress me and kept me so captivated. One of my favorite things about Ryan Gosling's character was the fact that he respected Irene (Carrie Mulligan) and her husband enough to not cause her to cheat on her husband. He just wanted to help a woman in need is the way I saw it. You must see this film if you have not yet.
