Movie – Drive

I have no idea who this boy Gosling is but he seems to be cropping up all over the place, all of a sudden.‘Drive’ is on-and-off my to-see list when I finally see it at the end of its run on a Sunday lunchtime and only as I’d missed my cinema treat for a couple of weeks. It’s OK if you like a film filled with menacing broodiness.The driver in ‘Drive’, forget his name – you know I never remember character names – is a getaway driver earning his, I imagine, smaller and more honest salary at his day job as a movie stunt driver. Of course the story is going to lean to ‘his last job and then he’s going straight’ and is ably assisted in this decision because of his interest in his neighbour, married mother of one whose husband is due out of prison any minute. She’s played by the British girl in the Lynn Barber story, An Education and has equally few lines as her admirer. It’s a good cast and I’m sure the younglings do indeed have a promising future.The twist is our Driver agrees to help said husband out of sticky life-or-death situation which ends the lives of a few more people to add up the tally.7/10Smile factor 7/10[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uE1tqMUd4R8&w=560&h=315]
