I have not previously been inclined to like Ryan Gosling, but he's great and surprisingly (!) not unattractive here as the talented but directionless protagonist named 'Driver'. The dvd extras invoke Hitchcock, but I think rather Kurosawa. Driver is the quiet tough guy that does right in an unfriendly world. The driving scenes are mesmerizing and the soundtrack inspired. There is a great stylishness to the scenes. One of few films that I think I'll want to see again in a short time.
The Danish director, Nicholas Refn, gives a charming interview in the dvd extras. He seems a little more strange, yet interesting here.
