Review
A Tense and Often Beautiful Masterpiece.
by evansweet1214

You might hear one
comparing this to a Tarantino film, but leave all worries at the door, this is
an absorbing and tremendously unique piece of cinema from Danish director
Nicolas Winding Refn. The reason it works so exquisitely well is because the
film grabs hold of you and takes you inside this often dark and dream-like LA
setting. So, when the end of the film hits, you feel apart of this film, and
it's there to stay.
This film also
offers a Ryan Gosling like you've never seen him, speaking only when necessary,
with tension and fury in his eyes. He's silent, caring, and ridiculously tough.
Every line is delivered perfectly and every gesture is natural. The music only makes this film more unique.
It is catchy and synchronized perfectly with the TRULY beautiful
cinematography.
This film is the
BEST of its genre. I honestly cannot compare it to any other film, for it is
truly that different. "Drive" is already the best of the year,
because I'm POSITIVE no other film will haunt and invade me quite like this
film has. This is not just a classic for its genre, but a beautiful and bold
classic in general.
