Movie Review: "Drive"
Director Nicola Winding Refn has made some questionable choices with 2011’s Drive. What isn't up for question is his choice of actors; Carey Mulligan effortlessly slides into the role of the young, abused mother, Ryan Gosling emulates a main character who speaks bountifully to the audience with few words (though he is given no formal name- just “Driver”), and Albert Brooks portrays a slimy middle man (who would be easier to hate if his voice wasn't so recognizable from Finding Nemo). Though beautifully shot, the violence is often alarming, and the 80’s themed music will stick with you for days.
Rating: 7/10
