SYNOPSIS/PLOT A mysterious man who has multiple jobs as a garage mechanic, a Hollywood stuntman and a getaway driver seems to be trying to escape his shady past as he falls for his neighbor - whose husband is in prison and who's looking after her child alone. Meanwhile, his garage mechanic boss is trying to set up a race team using gangland money, which implicates our driver as he is to be used as the race team's main driver. Our hero gets more than he bargained for when he meets the man who is married to the woman he loves.
PRO REVIEWS ----------------------------------------
"Drive" is somber, slick and earnest, and also a prisoner of its own emptiness, substituting moods for emotions and borrowed style for real audacity" (A. O. Scott: The New York Times)
----------------------------------------
"A shamelessly entertaining genre movie from director Nicolas Winding Refn that plays like an exalted episode of Miami Vice (...) It's not art, but arty mainstream (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Carrie Rickey: Philadelphia Inquirer)
----------------------------------------
Buckle up for the existential bloodbath of Drive, a brilliant piece of business that races on a B-movie track until it switches to the dizzying fuel of undiluted creativity (...) Rating: **** (out of four)" (Peter Travers: Rolling Stone)
----------------------------------------
Here is still another illustration of the old Hollywood noir principle that a movie lives its life not through its hero, but within its shadows (...) Rating: ***1/2 (out of four)" (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times)
----------------------------------------
"A film in love with both traditional noir mythology and ultra-modern violence, a combination that is not ideal (...) "Drive" doesn't spend a lot of time on mayhem, but what does get put on screen is intense, unsettling and increasingly grotesque" (Kenneth Turan: Los Angeles Times)
----------------------------------------
"Screw Oscar, which will surely ignore Drive because it's too bloody, too creative (...) the year's best movie. (...) Drive is pure cinema. I couldn't have liked it more." (Peter Travers: Rolling Stone)
