Drive (2011)

"A firecracker up the backside of the bloated modern action movie, Drive shows just how emotive and poetic the genre can be."

"Whereas most muscle-car action pics are visually and narratively flat, Drive displays stunning style."

"Thoroughly immersing, Drive leaves the competition in the dust."

"An action crime movie that’s as cerebral and surreal as it is red-blooded."

"Pure cinema, a grenade of image and sound ready to blow."

"Drive looks like one kind of movie in the ads, and it is that kind of movie. It is also a rebuke to most of the movies it looks like."

"It’s a fun, if not exhilarating, ride, one sped along with the help of a wonderfully assembled cast."

"A visually and aurally edgy Euro-influenced American genre movie..."

"About as much shamelessly disreputable, stylish, ultra-violent fun you’re going to have at the movies this year."

"It’s retro genre heaven."
