5. Soundtrack
Music can really make or break a movie. With Drive, you get almost all genres at one point in time throughout the film. Classy touch.
4. Fast Cars
These aren't your typical quick cut car chasing scenes. That's not to say your entire time with Drive is spent behind the wheel. There's something about these bits of the film that makes it feel as if they're unfolding in real time as opposed to camera time. They don't feel choppy, edited, over the top, big action. They really just feel necessary. How do you say? Captivating.
3. Plot
Lately, this seems to be Hollywood's biggest dissapointment. Some movies I've seen don't even really have a substantial plot to be considered a story. And IF there is a plot, it usually sucks. And that's where Drive really strides. Oh, and by the way, the trailer doesn't give everything away.
2. Ryan Gosling, hello??
I've been a fan since Murder by Numbers. Haven't seen it? Check it out. The guy can seriously act and as the Driver, he makes no exceptions. Sure, he really isn't THAT hard to look at either. :]
1. Drive is everything you don't expect.
It's hard to find a movie these days that really surprises you. In todays movie realm, we've all seen what can be done, and then done again. If it's not a sequal, it's a remake. And if it's a remake, it's probably going to be much worse than the original. I should also mention here the entire collective of the cast is amazing at what they do. Of course, without good acting a movie just isn't worth seeing. But it's not all of the other reasons that make Drive really worth seeing, it's only one. At it's core, this movie is everything you don't see coming. And that is why you should see it.
