Driver is a skilled Hollywood stuntman who moonlights as a getaway driver for criminals. Though he projects an icy exterior, lately he's been warming up to a pretty neighbor named Irene and her young son, Benicio. When Irene's husband gets out of jail, he enlists Driver's help in a million-dollar heist. The job goes horribly wrong, and Driver must risk his life to protect Irene and Benicio from the vengeful masterminds behind the robbery.
Now, Drive was somethin' different for sure. Ryan Gosling's performance hit the mark just right - the guy had this quiet intensity that just worked for this role. The movie had this cool, gritty feel that kept me engaged. The soundtrack, too, was spot on. It's not your usual action flick, but it sure did hold my interest with its unique style and atmosphere.
