A Sneak Peak at "Drive"

Tonight, I was fortunate enough to come across a pair of sneak peak tickets to see Ryan Gosling's new movie, Drive.

To start off, if you like your movies filled with metal shearing car crashes, heads being obliterated by shotguns, and awkward silences than this movie is for you.

Drive is about a stunt driver/wheel-man (Ryan Gosling) who becomes attached to his apartment complex neighbor, Irene (Carey Mulligan). He ends up finding himself wrapped up in a thrilling and gory adventure trying to protect Irene in a somewhat cliche storyline.

Gosling didn't have very many lines to memorize, as his character was the silent type, but I found that this added mystery to his character.

The action/killing scenes were rather realistic, depicting lots of blood, so if you get queasy easily than perhaps this movie isn't for you. But if exploding heads are your thing, than the movie is just right.

Carey Mulligan did a great job in the role of Irene, really making the viewer curious about what was going on inside her head.

This isn't your typical Transporter one though three, or five, or whatever it is. No, this wheel-man movie has the right mixture of action, plot twists, and romance to get your blood pumping.

The use of music throughout the movie was also interesting, and refreshing.

Overall, I'm glad I got to see a sneak peak of Drive, and it was a refreshing change from other Action/Dramas.

Drive made it through The Outhouse with no problems at all. I give Drive 8.5/10.

Drive comes to theaters this Friday.
