A dark, gripping thriller about a get away driver who crosses the wrong people. This movie builds up slow, and uses the time to establish a realism alot of these type of films lack. Gosling was fantastic, I had no idea what he would do or say next.. completely unpredictable. There is a persistent feeling of sadness throughout the film which adds to the realism. Overall highly reccomend.

Today's audiences have ADD and can't stand movies that aren't full of CGI and explosions, or that have moments of silence longer than three seconds. Here's a movie that has violence, car chases, and romance, but which many viewers will find it boring. Their loss. The rest of us will appreciate that there are directors who can still make an action movie that isn't non-stop action. Thankfully, a few film-makers - and film-goers -understand that action is only exciting when used sparingly, and that thrills are achieved through anticipation and not chaos.

"Drive" proves an action movie can be full of action, violence, and car crashes, and still be an intelligent drama that grabs you by the heart.

This film is about a stuntman-turned-wheelman must use all his skills to survive after a botched job results in a contract on his head. This movie has a amazing soundtrack and the directing in this movie was just brilliant.

Stylish and unique! One of the absolute best films of 2011. Robbed in virtually every category at the Oscars back in 2011.

When I was awake & watching Drive, The soundtrack drove me nuts! Talk about garbage for your ears.If you want to torture somebody pop the soundtrack into your player & hit repeat.There were also times during the movie where something was suppose to be happening but it felt like nothing was happening at all & it drove me up the wall.I tried & tried to give Drive a chance when my eyelids would let me but after shutting it off after the 4th time I gave up & hit the eject button.Oh yeah, The 1st car chase didn't start until like 45 minutes into the movie

Never has a movie with such little dialogue been such a great movie. This movie really snuck under the radar. This has the feel of a Tarrentino flick. Ryan Goseling's performance was great and outside of his usual realm. I don't even know what category to put this movie in. Very original.

A good action-thriller about a stuntman who moonlights as a getaway driver who gets caught up in a heist gone wrong. I rarely enjoy a movie with Ryan Gosling but thankfully he gives a quiet performance here that works. The film is well cast and the story is good, though at times I felt the direction was trying too hard to be moody or artistic (there's a ridiculous amount of slow motion shots, and the music choices are just strange). But overall, it's a good and entertaining film.

This movie is at least 1000 times better than The Transporter.
