Drive is an enjoyable visual experience. Gosling's subtle acting is refreshing during the first viewing. However, after repeated viewings, it tends to come off as somewhat forced and wooden.
There are a few scenes that are an absolute pleasure. The initial heist, elevator and hotel scenes immediately come to mind. The shower sequence that transpires within the hotel scene is a commendable nod to Scarface and a bona fide adrenaline rush.
At times the film's art house style and visuals feel a bit forced and distracting. The dialogue can fall flat. Unnecessarily long pauses frequently occur within the dialogue, often resulting in discordantly simplistic lines . This can be frustrating at times, making the exchanges between Gosling and Mulligan distracting and strained. Talking to a character that has little to say can only work for so long before losing it's initial charm. Fortunately, scenes containing Brooks and Cranston provide a better platform for dialogue (especially when they are interacting with each another).
Despite these issues, there's still something quite enjoyable about this film. Maybe it's the simplistic story with some beautifully executed visuals that helps distinguish itself from the current wave of bloated, self-absorbed, films that are currently engulfing cinema. Why are so many screenwriters filled with delusions of grandeur and a to need write stories in vein of Tarantino? There's a point where imitation goes from flattering to annoying.
Drive avoids this pitfall and is content to be what it is-- a candid story with lush visuals, which seamlessly transition between elegant tranquility and appropriate doses of tenacious violence. All of this is perfectly complimented by a superb 80s influenced soundtrack.
Drive's like that one girl every guy's met at a party once. She appears to be invisible to every other man in the room. But for some unexplainable reason there's an instantaneous wave of attraction that completely envelopes your body the moment you see her. You talk to her. It's exciting and refreshing. Almost surrealistic. Yet you leave without getting her number. Maybe the mere thought of making a move and getting rejected would tarnish a moment that's so pure..so perfect that it needs to remain just that--a moment. A much needed good memory to overshadow a bad one. But as soon as you reach your place to retire for the night, you realize you just walked away from something special. That girl electrified your senses. You're not sure what distinguished her from the rest. You'll never know. And that's why you'll always be left wanting more.

An action drama film. The film stars Ryan Gosling as an unnamed Hollywood stunt driver who moonlights as a getaway driver. Lots of action; good character interaction (my opinion). Movie was bought new-no playback issues.
