I watched this on recommendation from reading Arthur Dayne's "Blood & Rain" Substack article on the film. Brutal at times, this is film noir at it's finest. It has flecks of heroism and chivalry with shades of the Mad Max films and even…
If you're the putrid human postule who put this disc in the washing machine, I hope you get non-lethally shot. I was waiting all week to finally watch this. I was waiting for 5 days, each dripping with anticipation. Come Friday night, I…

I wish I hadn't watched it, but how could I know? Don't waste your time unless you're so happy you need a tragic story to bring yourself down. It is the writing that sends the viewer nowhere other than failure and desolation.

Sometimes it takes a foreign eye to see something new in what most North American audiences take for granted. In the case of those “bullets ’n car chases” action flicks Danish ex-pat director Nicolas Winding Refn’s baroque touches elevate…

Not going to get too deep on this, but if you haven’t seen it, you should. Great overall writing, directing, and acting. Gritty and tough.

I can't wholeheartedly endorse this film since it plunges too often into the gory side. Ryan Gosling takes us on an edgy ride throughout but what I like best is that he knows how to kiss a woman. Check out the elevator scene.

This arthouse action-noir is especially successful in what is so hard to see in movies today: style plus substance, with a good Ryan Gosling as a sullen, calculating and self-controlled Man With No Name in a plot that perfectly blends a…

I've said so much about this movie. It's my favorite. Maybe not the best, but my favorite. Have you read the book? It's better. But the film is better. How does that work? By buying both. Really. Go buy both. Cuz the book is better. But…
Drive is a pretty unique film starring Ryan Gosling as the main character. He plays the role of a driver, who has been assigned to drive whoever, wherever they need, with a limited amount of time. It's a very aesthetically pleasing movie,…

I loved this! It's an action film with well-drawn characters and striking violence. There's a strange sense of myth about it too, almost as though this were a modern western. The protagonist is even a man with no name. It had a 1960s/1970s…
Rated R
Interesting film with tons of tension, a good soundtrack, car-on-car action, brutal violence, all driven by Ryan Gosling’s unnamed and otherworldly protagonist.
Maybe it’s the car scenes or the white satin jacket with a gold…
