Drive (2011)
Director Nicolas Winding Refn
Driver (Ryan Gosling) is good at what he does. A stunt driver by day, a getaway driver by night, he's aloof, unflappable and professional, with no other ties to this world. But when Driver falls for next-door neighbour Irene (Carey Mulligan; An Education, MIFF 2009) he finds himself reluctantly pulled into a job with her ex-con ex-husband (Oscar Isaac; Balibo, MIFF 2009), a doomed final heist he hopes will free them all.
A neo-noir heist film turned high-octane chase, Drive is Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn's (Bronson, MIFF 2009) exhilarating ode to the hyper-stylised action-exploitation films of the 1970s. Kinetic, violent, dripping with cool and boasting a killer cast that includes Ron Perlman, Christina Hendricks, Bryan Cranston and Albert Brooks, Drive is part nihilistic thriller, part guilty pleasure and all utter mayhem. - Melbourne International Film Festival 2011
