Ryan Gosling has got himself into a lot of trouble with higher up criminals. As a stunt man he has made a living off driving, and driving unbelievably well. But when he decides to get involved with a heist as the getaway driver things go terribly wrong. Everyone has turned on him and the contract has made its way on his head. Probably because he gets involved with an ex-con's wife. That's so Goslingesque. But this angry pretty boy is something i haven't seen from him yet. A little attitude and a tire iron can take a movie a long way. Or how about literally hammering a bullet into a guys forehead? Yes please.
Drive doesn't seem like it will have too many ridiculous actions scenes, but rather a true crime drama full of dialogue and a complex story line. And for that reason I am motivated to see it. The swagger of Gosling mixed with the sexy Carey Mulligan and the bad ass Ron Perlman makes for 100 minutes of love making, fast paced chase scenes, and merciless brutality. leather gloves, hair product, and a stick shift will give a new definition to the crime drama pretty boy. Gosling has seemed to separate himself from the Paul Walker breed (Fast & the Furious), and fallen closer to the James Bond kind. A type of character that will always score a hottie and kill a few villains while escaping sure death. This indie film is set to appear in theaters on September 16th (USA).
