Drive...



I just finished the newest Ryan Gosling (henceforth referred to as Baby Goose, look it up) vehicle (pun fully intended) Drive.

If you haven't seen it yet, be warned, it is graphic and vulgar and wonderful.

The dialogue is incredibly minimal, with Baby Goose's character speaking very little. In fact, the script is so minimal that we don't even get a proper name for the lead man; he's just known as Driver.

While some might find the lack of dialogue to be tiresome, I for one didn't. The actors are forced to rely on a completely different set of instruments apart from their voices, and this leads to some very intense, raw moments.

I'm not going to bore you with too many plot details, because it's a pretty straightforward story.

Baby Goose = stunt driver --> bad stuff happens --> Baby Goose takes care of bizness --> and scene

I highly recommend this flick.

Plus, how sweet is that jacket?
