I came into that movie with high expectations and they were met.
Ryan Gosling is showing why he is one of the best actors of this generation. He plays Driver so mysteriously, shows how badass he is when he is pissed, abut shows that he he has a heart. Carey Mulligan was amazing as Irene. She is also showing that she is a young actress that is apart of the future of films. Bryan Cranston shows how great an actor he is with another great supporting role. And Albert Brooks as the villain was was genius.
Gosling, Mulligan, Cranston and Brooks were all screwed with not getting nominations imo. I think Gosling tried to push to get nominated for Ides of March (which was a good movie just nothing special) when he should have pushed for drive.
I'd give this film four stars It was the sixth best film of 2011.
