Drive is a cinematic triumph that delivers an unforgettable ride from beginning to end. While the storyline may seem simple at first, the film's attention to detail and intricacy of world-building truly sets it apart from the rest. Every character introduced has a connection to the crime world that is slowly pieced together, creating a puzzle that's both engaging and intriguing. This aspect of the film is truly captivating and highlights the excellent writing. What's more, the family elements of the movie really shine. Ryan Gosling delivers an outstanding performance as a protagonist forced to do bad things to survive. However, the connection he forms with the family across the hall is heartwarming, slowly evolving from a romantic interest to a bond of familiarity and care. In the meantime, Oscar Isaac also gives a remarkable performance as a character initially portrayed as off-putting and egotistical, but whose love for his family slowly emerges as the movie progresses. His character's desire to get out of the criminal life and make good on his past mistakes is admirable and heartbreaking. As the story unfolds, the movie takes a dramatic turn, introducing graphic violence and jaw-dropping moments that are genuinely wild. It accelerates to full speed, never letting up, and keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very end. The movie's unique 80s aesthetic is also a standout, even though it takes place in modern times. It is visually impressive, especially when combined with the superb cinematography. Overall, Drive is a movie that gets so much right and turns a seemingly generic formula into a film that is truly special. Its superb storytelling, memorable characters, intense action, and unique style make it a must-watch for any cinephile. Score: 92% 🏅 Verdict: Excellent
