and
yet
the new film drives the market is a car chase action movie with america's
hottest actor and got started
claiming list and trevor moonlighting as a wheel man
who gets tied up with the wrong guys the wrong woman in the wrong job but dr also
won the best director prize of the two thousand live in cannes film festival
and was nominated for the palm door which tends not to happen the strait of
action movies that should probably give you a hint that drives going for more
than thrills and the arts revival of the film often remind me of a combination of
martin scorsese's taxi driver
with the tone and pacing of the david lynch phil
but that begs the question is drive the kind of movie you enjoyed or just admire
the premise of dr is extremely promising as we learned for the right price the
driver makes a simple people estate getaway personal plans do their job
within a five minute window an opening of drivers you watch him in some crooks
debate cops through the streets of los angeles is electrifying isn't a single
watch this
however that opening chase is one of only two car chases in the entire movie
which is bound to disappoint action fans especially after the promise of the
first chase instead we get more of a crime gone wrong story as driver and his
mechanic mentor played by brad cranston make a deal with to gangsters played by
albert brooks and ron pearlman to buy in racist accor at the same time trevor
becomes involved with a single mom named irene played by carey mulligan whose
husband has just been released from prison and is being blackmailed into
committing a dangerous crime drivers an intense enigmatic man of few words which
unfortunately manifest itself in extremely
slow
conversations with irene full of meaningful stairs however the mystery
around drivers workers by comparison to taxi driver since both films have
soft-spoken loaders were virtually revealed to be dangerous man with a big
kill your sense of justice
fans of the notebook aware since the violence in dr is graphic sending
jarring
however i also mean that in the best way possible since dr really goes for with
its short bloody outbursts
morgan sympathetic consumer little she has to do engrossed roman cranston had
some nice green energy but docent stoic silence in slow motion conversations
with morgan often train which is a shame since goslings intensity in physical
presence are
seemed to be young marlon brando within the most driver just isn't enough to
really grab onto our sympathize with
that campaign for dr what have you believe docent lose his cool but often
just comes across as cold or of the film goes on kinda creepy
there are plenty of loud cynical forgettable action films in the world in
the makers of dr deserve some credit for trying something different with the
film's looks tone
and it's quiet violent morally ambiguous hero so i feel a bit guilty sing that dr
well who could use more driving
because in the action comes is exhilarating tenzin artfully done
without shying away from the blood in scaring us an extreme violence if
there's been a bit more of that and fewer slow-mo conversations drive
through downtown is a really amazing movie making it a bummer when you think
about what might have been
still the movie is committed to its vision is beautifully shot is still
worth seeing
which is why i'm giving you the six and often came for what the flick leisure
