Review: Drive is the new Bullitt



This is going to be a quickie.

I'm going to say this again: Drive has replaced Hanna as the second-best movie I've seen all summer. Now, the list is as follows?
  1. Super 8- More heartfelt, coming-of-age gold from Spielberg and Abrams.
  2. Drive- I hate to say it, but... Steve McQueen < Ryan Gosling
  3. Contagion- This flick will make you sweat bullets, and pracitcally begs for zombies to show up.
  4. Hanna- An action movie with characters to care about and Eric Bana, who kicks unsermainable amounts of ass.
  5. Transformers: Dark of the Moon- Fucking wingsuits, man!
Eric Bana: Supplying America with badassery since 1968
I won't go into immense detail here, but just go see Drive. It will change your life. Ryan Gosling has crafted a truly unique character that begs for an Oscar nominaiton, and I'll be damned if he doesn't get one. A strong supporting cast lends emotions that Gosling himself can't. The action sequences that are equal parts gruesome, quick, and sobering (and in the long run, almost regretable) create a standout film that refuses to fall into the mold of so many other 'splosion-laden action seizures.

Go see Drive. Like, right now.

Also, just go here. Hopefully you get the message. Can I stop writing these, Jack? Please?
