‘Drive’ Geared to Rev Up Twists
The film shifts from crime thriller to dark comedy to love story.
Ryan Gosling fuels Drive as Driver, a solitary stunt driver who works on movie sets by day and drives getaway cars at night.
He falls for his apartment neighbor Irene (Carey Mulligan), a mom with a small son whose father is an ex-con. The ex-con drags Driver into a robbery that goes wrong.
Albert Brooks plays a crime lord with a thing for forks, Ron Perlman is the Jewish gangster who does business in a pizza parlor, and Bryan Cranston plays Driver's best buddy, giving this film plenty of acting horsepower.

There isn't much actual driving in the film. Sure, there is a car chase here and there, but the movie is more about the questionable choices that drive people—and drive them away.
