Drive

Drive Rated R
This is the second movie I saw his year wit Ryan Gosling. Although he himself is better
in The Ides Of March, Drive is a better film. It's not the story (although that was great) that makes this film fantastic. It's not the acting (although that was great, too) that makes it great, either. It's the way it's presented. The story is told with almost no dialogue, and many scenes with just two people looking at each other for an extended amount of time. But for some reason, you understand everything that's happening. The other amazing part of the storytelling are the shots. Whether it's a girl screaming while a car is flipping over behind her in slow-motion, or an entire, violent, action sequence seen only by the characters' shadows, Drive is definitely To see: that is the answer.
