This movie was pretty good. It's not my favorite Ryan Gosling movie

not really my favorite, just an extra addition to collection

It was better than I expected. Pleasantly surprised

Wanted a great car chase movie - got a mediocre thug movie.

Haven't made the time to watch this movie but I hope it good

Ryan Gosling's moving performance. . Well crafted. ..

Not bad. Ok movie. Bought this cause it's steelbook

i really enjoyed this thriller action packed movie

MOVIE WAS A LITTLE SLOW AT TIMES & IT SEEMED LIKE A REPLICA OF OTHER MOVIES. ALL & ALL I RATE THIS MOVIE A 2 1/2 OUT OF FIVE. I WOULD WATCH IT ONCE IN A LIFETIME

The main character and plot of this film were farfetched and bland. I've seen more exciting car chases on the cable news stations.

The acting in this move is awesome, but the movie left me disturbed. Turned very dark

This movie was more voilent than I was prepared for. The plot didn't really go anywhere either.

I got this movie thinking it would be good and it was ok....

A modern take on Shane in my opinion but not as good

Movie is ok. Should have rented it and not bought it...

I bought this movie thinking that the story line was more exciting the previews had more action.

Lame plot, slow to develop, very little action worth waiting for.

it's alright i mean i like it but it's alright....

DRIVE is not just about "driving cars" - in fact, the title of the movie has a lot more to do with character motivations than motor vehicles. People who are expecting THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS need not apply. In a way, DRIVE reminds me of A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE. A great slow burn film featuring interesting and complicated characters that climaxes in some violent shots of such intensity that you would probably close your eyes if it weren't for the fact that the film has already cut away by the time your brain has processed what it is seeing. While intense and sometimes unexpected, the violence is not excessive or unnecessary. The soundtrack is also amazing. Cliff Martinez does an outstanding job handling the orchestral side, while Kavinsky & Lovefoxxx, Desire, College and the Chromatics supply the retro '80s sound. I immediately bought the soundtrack after watching DRIVE in theaters and it has gotten a lot of play. I think DRIVE was easily the best film of 2011. It's a shame that it was snubbed by the Golden Globes and the Oscars. Albert Brooks absolutely deserved a Best Supporting nom for his wickedly evil portrayal of Bernie Rose. Gosling, as always, delivers 110%. If you skip DRIVE you're doing yourself a disservice.

Precision driving can mean the difference between a long prison sentence and a clean getaway. For the right price and with the right connection, those are services you can obtain once and only once and Ryan Gosling provides them. Starring as a character that is never given a name, Gosling works as a mechanic for Shannon (played by Bryan Cranston) who also allows him to use vehicles brought to his garage for servicing for his illicit activities. In addition, he does the occasional bit of stunt driving for Hollywood films. Not to mention the fact that Shannon’s (Cranston’s) associate Bernie Rose (played way against type by Albert Brooks) is considering a proposal Shannon made to have Driver race professionally with Bernie (Brooks) as their benefactor. Things appear to be going swimmingly until Driver offers assistance to a neighbor being coerced to perform a robbery. The neighbor, Standard (played by Oscar Isaac), was recently released from prison and fears what his associate will do to his family. A family that Driver became quite close to in the time between when he met them and the day Standard was released. The violence is a little gruesome, and the surreal nature of a character with no name is something that didn’t actually strike me until after I left the theater. That said, the story is interesting, the performances spectacular and the general feel of the film is right on target. It is light-years ahead of films like The Transporter that seek to turn their characters into superheroes.
