Drive


Fucking amazing. It's a neon noir thrill ride with beautiful cinematography, the camera work has a hazy malaise about it like the LA smog except clear and crisp, added to by the frequent use of slow-motion and sparse dialogue. Ryan Gosling's brilliant performance is stripped back, laconic and raw, the violence is visceral and it's all scored by a sexy-as-fuck synth soaked soundtrack. Plus it benefits from casting Brit Carrey Mulligan and Christina Hendricks who's body rolls like the hills of the English countryside and has a role that's all too brief. What are you still doing here? Go watch it now.
