TIME WELL SPENT - 10 DAYS 00 HOURS 11 MINUTES

Friday, 1 March 2013

I don't sit in while you're running it down. I don't carry a gun. I drive.

Date: Sunday 24th February
Film: Drive (2011)
Director: Nicholas Winding Refn
Starring: Ryan GoslingCarey Mulligan and Bryan Cranston
Running Time: 01 hour, 40 minutes
Rating: 10/10

Brutal violence, underground crime organisations, fast cars, Ryan Gosling and Christina Hendricks. Drive is a list of things I love in cinema. The exquisitely told story of a mysterious man (we never learn his name), who is hired to drive, the one thing he does well, and after a liaison with his neighbour, and an interaction with her ex-con husband, ends up mixed up with a criminal gang and things go downhill from there.

Drive is intense. From beginning to end. In the doomed love affair, in the violence, in the car scenes. It's this intensity that, in my eyes, makes it such a great film.

One of, in my opinion, the best films to come out in the last few of years. I have so much love for Drive.
