Drive "is a great movie, one of the more traditional films this year.It is based on a novel by James Sallis dough on an independent film stuntman (only known in the film, that grows) that serves as a refuge for criminals to conduct. He also works at the garage owned by Shannon, a former stuntman dream of owning a team of stock car racing. Driver gets to know his neighbor and Irene's youngest son Benicio. Irene Man, Standard (Oscar Isaac in "Sucker Punch"), is in prison. There is chemistry between Irene and son, and before it can develop default is released from prison. Now the house, Standard owe money for protection, it is signed, in prison. He had planned to rob a pawn shop to pay off its debt. If not, the thugs come after him and his family. Pilot worried Irene and her son, offering to help. And that goes wrong.
"Driver" is a film structured, with a discreet and effective such a resolution. It reflects the films in the late 70's and early 80's synthesizer score, the title characters rose and, in particular, Michael (ie the 1981 "Thief"), more than Walter Hill. Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn elegantly ("Bronson"), "Drive" did not bother trying to look cool or cool to talk to, it's a car, and Western horses. The film wastes no time - every scene is straight to the point.
Ryan Gosling plays with tension reserve driver. On the surface is remote, silent as Steve McQueen in "Bullitt," but in reality it is self-control, does not say what the other person is saying a lot. We do not know much about him, but "Drive" pilot develops is a complex character, but with few lines of dialogue. That's all there in his face, his eyes, his smile Hideaway, his study of a person or when he plays in Gosling as a mirror methodical work as double. All about how to behave driver is demanding to eat at a restaurant on the way you're sitting in a motel room or a car. As simple as it sounds, there's something raw here.
And 'the very silence that enable the "Drive" pulsates with a strong, healthy heart, and not a lame movie car as "Gone in 60 seconds." The film is silent, so quiet that when a gun is fired sound makes you feel, to experience, to cross the theater as the violence it creates. The violence in "Drive" is brutal, but made no specific shocks. It seems to speak of something in the nature of the "driver" and the truth of their violence. And the movie called "Drive", there is a lot of it. Help scenes sizzle has less to do with car chases. It fits with driver and Irene driving, that resonates with the means used to take two people to places they both need to go.
Visually the film is beautiful. Skyline've night in Los Angeles probably never seen so wonderfully intact on the screen. However, "Drive" is lost at the expense of style over substance - it is not rapid fire or cut the camera too detailed or computer effects. The film is mainly recorded in a series of static and slow corners where the camera moves Dolly grows on a character or follow a parallel character. There is a specific and unique style in the manner of operation to move into his world.
Completing the cast films are as good as what Carey Mulligan ("training"), the finesse, Ron Pearlman ("Cronos," "Hellboy") as the villain of fear, but generally you want to be really punk rock. This is Albert Brooks ("Broadcast News") as heavy Bernie is dangerous. Brooks is a nerve-wracking to watch - you look like someone's father, but a father who suddenly explode. She surgeon to work here, are calculated and calm. And Bryan Cranston ("Breaking Bad"), truly live in Shannon, dressed as a famous stuntman / director Hal Needham ("Smokey & the Bandit"), a limp and walks like Lee Van Cleef in "Escape from New York."
"Drive" is the kind of film Quentin Tarantino is trying to do, but in the end things with dialogue and exaggerated excess endless scenes ("Jackie Brown" and the mall comes to mind). "Drive" has its long scenes without dialogue, but these scenes of vibration, they mean something, that is something. Oozing, as significant moments between people / characters, speaking little, but the volume has been thought and felt. No self-indulgence here.
"Drive" is the reverse of bloated Hollywood is making films today. It 'a movie that does not respect for Michael Bay does not have his DNA to do. It 'like in the movies were made, focusing on characters, plot, and personality. It 'a film that won praise, and its always been.
All praise aside, the "Drive" is not a great film. It 's just that it comes to movies very, very good
