Drive -- 'He's never had a lot of luck'

In theaters September 16, 2011.

Ryan Gosling stars as a Los Angeles wheelman for hire, stunt driving for movie productions by day and steering getaway vehicles for armed heists by night. Though a loner by nature, Driver can't help falling in love with his beautiful neighbor Irene (Carey Mulligan), a vulnerable young mother dragged into a dangerous underworld by the return of her ex-convict husband Standard (Oscar Isaac).

After a heist intended to pay off Standard's protection money spins unpredictably out of control, Driver finds himself driving defense for the girl he loves, tailgated by a syndicate of deadly serious criminals (Albert Brooks and Ron Perlman). But when he realizes that the gangsters are after more than the bag of cash in his trunk—that they're coming straight for Irene and her son—Driver is forced to shift gears and go on offense.

Albert Brooks.
the most underrated man in Hollywood

Watching Albert Brooks in his role in Drive was alone worth the price of admission. Excellent movie.

[awake]

This was my first Albert Brooks movie, and oh boy, is he magnificent in this performance.

[discoknox]

Albert Brooks deserves an Oscar for this.

[Vameon]

Brooks got robbed of an oscar, not even fucking nominated.

[Locadel]

Albert Brooks was actually the best part in the movie for me personally, great performance

[luckynicky]

like a flawless Gene Hackman performance

[karmahadid]

Ryan's face like "go on... keep talkin"

"I used to produce movies. In the '80s. Kinda like action films; sexy stuff. One critic called them 'European'. I thought they were shit."

[chibidakis]

I could see Albert play a mob boss in a John Wick film. Opposite of Ian McShane's character

The best thing about this line is that later on you can see a tattoo of an upside down horse shoe on Shannon's neck during his death scene.

forgive me but when I first film, I thought it was Gene Hackman :|
brilliant performance none the less

Broken pelvis, disabled for life, a straight razor to the anterior ulnar artery by an old friend, and dead before 50... I'd say!

[boxisbest]

how long into the movie does this happen??

[Senyoln]

How much force can break a pelvis? Bone is really strong, isn't it?

[JesusCristo]

@Ironbee07 - It's directed by a European filmmaker.

[Ironbee]

@discoknox Weeks ago I read a comment about his nomination: "Fork your consideration." :) And by the way, Drive really has an European feel.

[underoathprophet]

[MrProphet]

@sojkz He's threatening Gosling...

[luckynicky]
