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.

I’m a big Ryan Gosling fan and prefer his grittier and less well known films. I had no idea what I was getting into when I first watched this movie. It was a surprise- in the best way possible. I think I sat stunned for a good ten minutes after it finished just trying to process what I had just seen. Gosling is at his best in Drive. This role couldn’t be more different than some of his other movies like The Notebook or La La Land. He was damaged, dangerous and brooding and he didn’t even speak a whole lot. It’s a very different kind of film, dark and fairly violent at certain times so if you’re squimish than beware. But I hope it doesn’t keep you from watching because it is a truly great film. The other actors and actresses were all very impressive too, but this film definitely belongs to Ryan Gosling. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched it. After writing this review and just thinking about it, I have to go watch it right now!

First, the title can be a little misleading if you expect an action loaded movie. This is NOT A Fast and the Furious movie, this is a movie where you have a very good story, great visual, great development of characters, where "drive" is used in the sense of "keep going". The story is around Driver, who is a stunt driver by day and a getaway car driver by night. He stars a relationship with his neighbor, a single mother, and starts to open himself to her and the kid. In the meanwhile, a robbery goes bad and he realized he was going to be framed for that robbery. He is trying to figure out who is trying to frame him while the dad of the neighbor's kid gets out of jail and comes back to her, staring a love triangle. Driver is conflicted between the crime world he lives in (solitary, quiet) and the new perspective of the love he feels for her neighbor (that makes him warmer and more of a person), and he has to decide what side wins.

Seriously, I liked it. Why?
Director Nicolas is pretty much directing straight off the Mann playbook; from shot sequence, set-up/framing, timing, choice of actor/acting style, and the all-important electro-synth soundtrack. Even the opening sequence Mistral font is a throwback to the late 80s-mid 90s when Mann was at the his peak of creativity.
Ryan Gosling does a pretty good James Caan in 'Thief', and I appreciate that Carey Mulligan stands on her own skill alone, nice. This is my first film with Ms. Mulligan and I have to say that I was impressed with her performance, she's better than Ashley Judd in the same role via 'Heat'.
Overall, not sure how I feel about this flick - other than, sure, I liked the film. But it definitely takes a knock down from straight nickel five-pointers because Mann is still alive.
Another reason to buy this Bluray is to experience deepest black levels on Plasms/OLED TVs

Probably one of my favorite movies ,It’s short and enjoyable. The only problem I had is that my disc did not contain a digital copy code ,I can understand considering it’s been over 10 years since the movie has came out and the code would be invalid anyways ,but that’s the only bummer I had when getting this movie ,I heard someone say you can access it from blu ray live but I’m not to sure on that .

Drive (2011) is effortlessly cool. Every frame (and every actor) is just right and meshes together just right, yet the movie never calls attention to its sure-handedness. Style, rather than gratuitous action, elevates the basic plot. The Blu-ray's remarkable clarity and realism show off the carefully-constructed visuals, which form the foundation of the movie. The 5.1 lossless audio is also finely-tuned. Although the Blu-ray does not include a commentary track, it has a lengthy interview in which the director discusses the movie. Drive may not aspire to be an epic, but it is easily one of the most perfect movies in recent memory.

Drive is one of those movies that keeps you on the edge of your seat from the beginning of the title credits. It is a simple love story with a few twists but overall it is the action that it revolves around that keeps you interested in the main characters plot. The situations that Engage The viewer are blindly fast but well directed. The film itself also boast an incredible soundtrack that keeps the pace of the movie going at Breakneck speed. The Blu-ray version of this film is very well transferred the audio is also very superb. This is a highly recommended title.
