Drive

"Drive" hit theaters this past Friday and took audiences around the US along for the ride of a lifetime.  The movie stars Ryan Gosling who plays a Los Angeles stunt driver for movies by day and getaway driver for criminals at night.  Gosling starts to fall in love for his neighbor Irene across the hall, whose background is one haunted by her ex-husband.  When the ex-husband shows up and needs money to help pay off a kingpin or else his wife and son will be in danger, Gosling offers his driving services to help him pull off a heist to pay off his debt and protect his new love interest Irene.  They movie than heats up when the heist goes bad and Gosling is forced to go on the run and protect Irene and himself from criminals who are out to kill them.  Once Gosling realizes he can’t run forever he stops playing defensively and instead starts playing offense by going after the mobsters himself.

Drive is a pedal to the metal movie unlike anything else.  It’s a stylish film that can fit into so many different categories; thriller, romance, and a heist film.  The up and coming star actor, Gosling, gives an academy award winning performance.  The movie is quite the adrenaline rush that at times can get pretty graphic and bloody.
