'Drive' wasn't a movie which I was planning to watch but recently I saw the movie featured in many 'best movie' lists 'cult' lists. That made me curious and watched the movie. The story follows Ryan Gosling, who plats a getaway driver, stunt double, and a car mechanic. He works associated with the character played by Bryan Cranston who is the owner of the garage he works in. The performances, the conflict, the violence, were all handled well and that's what makes the movie a favourite, I think. Also, the cinematography was top-class. The director could have easily made it a commercial flick, it had all its ingredients, but he chose to stick to his style, with slow frames, scenes, and movements, which is commendable. Bryan Cranston gave a terrific performance as the limping garage owner caught between a mess. I hated the huge face of the villain guy and later realized that he was the one who played Hellboy in Hellboy- he impressed me though, with his cruelty and acting prowess. Ryan Gosling was perfect as the lead- a character who most of the time, stay emotionless. Drive isn't the best, but remains great.
