Drive stars Ryan Gosling, who plays a driver. Stunt driver by day, and at night he's like a guy from Grand Theft Auto, he drives criminals around by night. And he has this set of rules, man. It's like: We meet here, your on time, you got 5 minutes, I drive, I don't carry a gun. You do the dirty work, I will drive you anywhere. But in that five minutes, I am yours.
When he was listing off the rules in the very beginning of the movie, I was like, dude this is awesome. I love people like this. And all in that, the beginning of this movie is so awesome. He's driving these guys on a job, and he's just working his craft.
He is a badass behind the wheel. And then after that the beginning credits come on, and I was like dude, I am so hyped for this right now. But, then after that you know, the movie continues, and it really slows down. It slows down to a pretty drastic degree. About half an hour into the movie, after like ten lines of dialogue, I realized that this is truly and art house movie.
In terms of action, both the action sequences are in the trailer. There are two driving sequences. Two! One's at the very beginning of the movie, and then the next one is like half way into the movie. In between it focuses on Ryan Gosling's character meeting this girl, and she all makes him feel warm and fuzzy. Although he's not really the warm and fuzzy type. He just kinda sits there and stares, and gives a look, and doesn't say much. Which I get is his character. Because you know he can kill you. And I like knowing that, I like knowing this whole time, that guy can just snap and kill people. And Ryan Gosling plays it perfectly. He's a good actor. There were some scenes where your like, dude that guy is just gonna murder some f***s.
I just think this movie got a little too stylistic at certain points. I think the director tried to show off too much.
Overall, it's a well filmed movie, and it's well acted. Everyone's a good actor in this film. But it doesn't change the fact that I found the movie to be quite boring, at least for half of it.
If you like art house movies, your gonna love Drive.
