Drive Reviews

Director Nicolas Winding Refn infuses an amalgam of several standard stories with an unassailable armor of cool to protect the indefatigable loneliness at its center.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 26, 2024

Drive is basically the coolest movie ever. Its dreamlike, electronic soundtrack -- perfect for travel at night -- layers meaningful messages into a violent fairy tale about an unconventional hero.

A patient, Jean-Pierre Melville-esque character study with flourishes of action. But it's more about atmosphere than adrenaline.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Mar 8, 2023

Refn affirms his talents as a genre filmmaker and indulges in excesses and clichés reminiscent of '70s and '80s productions. [Full review in Spanish]

Underneath the crafty and stylish surface lies a fairly simple and conventional action thriller.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 20, 2022

...with no end of great, if ludicrous, fight choreography and stunt work, it is a guilty pleasure for action fans par excellence...

Action buffed down to its essence and serving the purpose of an emotional reaction rather than a strictly visceral one

Working from Hossain Amini's compelling, "driving" narrative script, director Refn delivers a masterclass in mood creation, playing with camera angles, shadows, film speed and sound to keep the audience fully engrossed.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Dec 8, 2021

Drive's bravura opening highlighted that there's more than one way to execute a nail-biting car chase, especially when operating on an indie budget.

Nicolas Winding Refn had an extremely distinct vision and saw something different in rom-com heartthrob Ryan Gosling. And when those two things collided, damn, was it cool.

The movie looks fantastic and is still the best-looking example of the 2010s neon-aesthetic renaissance that it helped kick off.

Poetic with its minimalism, excessive in its violence, and artistic with its presentation.
