Do you understand?” That is the first quote we hear not only when he does his getaway driver thingy but also the first quote in the entire fucking movie. Anything happens a minute either side of that and you’re on your own. Anything happens in that five minutes and I’m yours. You give me a time and a place, I give you a five minute window. “ There’s a hundred-thousand streets in this city. He also lives a third life as a getaway driver. He is also a mechanic at a workshop owned by his friend and boss Shannon (Bryan Cranston). He is a stunt guy at a movie studio, you know doing all the car crashing and what-not. Yes he is called Driver (or kid) in the movie, his real name is never revealed. The story is set in Los Angeles and follows a guy called “Driver” (Ryan Gosling). I saw this movie first time a few years back, this review is based on me re-watching the movie now as I am older and understand shit even better. So I got curious and watched it a month or two later. So then I heard about this movie called “Drive”. And good storytelling is not rare to find, but sometimes you need something that is both subtle and got something action-y.
And “normal driving” parts are usually difficult to find if you want good ones. Sure we have the “Fast and the Furious” franchise for the car chases, but that don’t satsify the “normal driving” parts. And by that I don’t only mean car chases, I mean driving parts in general. You guys know what is rare to find in movies these days? Good car scenes.
