“There are no clean getaways.”
Drive follows a quiet stunt driver in Los Angeles who earns extra money by helping criminals escape after robberies. He keeps to himself, but his life shifts when he grows close to a neighbor and her young son. When a newly released husband asks for help with a major heist, the job collapses into danger and leaves him forced to face the people behind it.
Nicolas Winding Refn directs this 2011 film, shaping its tense, stripped-down crime story around Ryan Gosling as the driver. Carey Mulligan plays the neighbor who draws him into a more human world, while Bryan Cranston appears as a mechanic and confidant. Albert Brooks and Ron Perlman are among the figures tied to the criminal side of the story, giving the film its pressure and menace.
Made in the United States, the film runs 100 minutes and moves through a neon-lit Los Angeles shaped by isolation and sudden violence. Its mood is spare and controlled, with romantic feeling pressed against brutality and revenge. The result is a cool, uneasy thriller with a strong neo-noir edge.
