Drive

I've been waiting a while to watch this film.



It's a pretty tough (i.e. bloody) crime drama. Ryan Gosling plays a getaway driver who gets too involved in a robbery gone bad. There's lots of double crossings and one decent car chase (the above is not it, although that is clever).

Although it's a pretty good movie, it's not as good as it thinks it is. It's too long, more complex than it needs to be and a bit too arty. The players are under-used (Gosling's not bad, but he's no Pacino) and for a film called Drive it needs more car chases.
