The Z Man

A brilliant, artistic interpretation of the chase/heist genre, inventive, unexpected and PERFECT. One of my favorite films.

December 31, 2015

Format: Prime VideoVerified Purchase

This, along with Night Crawler, is one of my favorite moves of this decade. I just love the interaction between Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan. In much of the movie they remain silent, communicating in glances, in unspoken understanding. It's brilliant. And the acting by Oscar Issac is amazing. Brian Cranston as his side kick and Albert Brooks as his chilling nemesis are both perfect. The story, characters, cinematography, music and sound all come together in that rare spectacularly dramatic and artistic way we wish all movies could be. I've watched this over and over, and never get tired it of. I can see why this has gained cult status. The work is approached in such an unusual, inventive way that it far transcends your cookie-cutter heist or chase film. It's an art-house version of the heist genre, unexpected, but stylistically and imaginatively done. If you're looking for a Fast Five type chase movie, this isn't it. But if you're looking for an intelligent thriller with good action scenes and great performances, and you have a creative mind, then you'll love this movie.

Not an action film (but you should watch it anyway)

February 11, 2015

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

It's an absolutely brilliant movie that will be loved by most people but hated by most of those who do not love it.

The film does an outstanding job of establishing mood and setting. That middle-of-the-night feeling is captured perfectly, and it only enhances what is essentially the story of a depressed, taciturn nobody who routinely endangers himself for no apparent reason, and is only too ready to endanger himself even further than usual so as to help what appears to be the only friend he has in his whole life. I didn't take the movie to be a love story so much as a story about loneliness, and a need for human connection. I'm sure he's not insensitive to the possibilities of a romantic relationship with a beautiful woman, but I honestly thought it was more so about just having someone in his life who knew that he existed. It's a very sad story in that regard.

Ryan Gosling's acting is superb. He never overdoes anything, always choosing the subtle route of less-is-more, and he pulls it off perfectly. The only thing I would say as a note of caution is that, contrary to advertisements, this is not an action film. Do not watch this film if you are hoping for non-stop explosions and chases and Van Damage. On that note, if you dislike slower pacing, scenes that function primarily to establish character and mood, and an overarching theme that is bleak and desolate, perhaps you might not like this film. For everyone else, I give it the highest possible recommendation.

Another masterpiece from Nicholas Winding Refn

September 14, 2015

Wow! I just watched this movie and I absolutely loved it. I have really come to appreciate Nicholas Winding Refn as a director. I love his work because his movies satisfy my tastes. I love raw, gritty movies that reflect real life because life itself is raw and gritty.

"Drive" is another gritty masterpiece. It's not a movie filled with one car chase scene after another, rather, it's a movie that centralizes around the main character (Ryan Gosling) who is referred to as "kid." Obviously, the director chose for him not have a name. I'm not going to write a report on the whole plot of the movie because my intention here is to express how the movie really captured me with it's interesting characters, wonderful camera work and cinematography, rich soundtrack, terrific acting, and last but not least, the raw and brutal violence that assaults the viewer's senses with a serious dose of in-your-face type of realism.

Again, it's not a movie like "Fast and the Furious" with non-stop car chase scenes. Refn's movies tend to be very character oriented and that's exactly what we get here. The viewer gets a glimpse into the life of "driver", which reveals he is a part-time stunt driver for movies and moonlights as a get away driver for heists. He does all of this while working as a mechanic for an auto repair shop. The director did a good job of making me empathize with driver and feel what he's feeling; lonely, unsure of life and the future, longing for something more normal, longing for companionship. The movie had a very visceral effect on me and Refn seems to be very good making his movies do just that.

I loved the pace of the movie. It flowed smoothly without any plot holes. If you're in the mood for something that contains more substance instead of non-stop over-choreographed cartoonish action movies with minimal character development, than definitely give this movie a shot.

Easily one of the best movies I've ever had the ...

October 14, 2017

Easily one of the best movies I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. Ryan's acting is incredible. The story gives me tingles. The more that I watch this movie, the more I enjoy it. I adore the characters. The ending is sad, but hopeful. Every shot is stunning and California's Cityscape never looked and felt more alive. This birthed interest into retrowave/synthwave genre's for a newer generation. Drive's style opened up a whole new world of retro culture I don't think will ever leave me.

Can't praise the movie enough. The audio however, at least here on Amazon is very difficult to make out without subtitles.

Anonymous Rogue

An almost perfect experience for cinephiles!

May 19, 2014

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

This movie is very stunning. It is brilliantly shot and scored. With it's Neo-Synthpop soundtrack and use of neon lights it paints a different picture of L.A. Than the book. It has romance, action, and revenge. Driver is far more mysterious in this film and is a man of few words. The chemistry between Gosling and Mulligan does not suffer and he is portrayed more as a good natured and maybe socially awkward man whose talent as a Driver is matched by none. We see a duality in him and how the dramatic turn of events unfold a dark side to him. Here we also see the old saying "Watch out for the quiet ones" come into play as his brutality is shown. But he still remains the hero in the end.

It takes creative license in the adaption of it's source material and can stand on it's own as a derivative work. Rather than comparing and contrasting the two ad nauseum which are different and good in their own way. I would recommend both the book and movie.
