THE ASTOR REVIEW

Saturated with a soft, candlelit colour palette and spattered with enough hot pink to subdue its excessive, heavily stylised blood spill, Drive is a contemporary crime drama that doesn’t so much take a wrong turn as it does rather subtly sink into the sometimes dark world of nostalgia and the melancholic undertones of a far from postmodern pastiche. An innovative and fascinating film, Drive is an adrenalin filled ride that beautifully frames Gosling as a modern day dangerous James Dean dreamboat who epitomises the dichotomy of a noir hero; simultaneously good and bad.
