Drive (2011)

An expert driver takes up the case of his neighbor - a young married woman Irene with a young child Benicio. Her husband just returns from jail and he lands up in trouble. The driver offers his services for a heist to get him out of trouble but it goes terribly wrong.

A series of people get killed and the driver settles things one by one and ensures that Irene and Benicio are safe. He drives away in the end after finishing the job that he set out to do.

Hits

• Ryan Gosling is mean and silent throughout. He smiles and talks only in a measured way. When he shows his aggression, it doubles the impact
• The other characters like the wife, the cute kid, the husband, the driver's garage boss, the mob etc. all have their minor parts. 
• Some scenes like the first kiss between the driver and his neighbor inside the lift followed by the bloody murder are pretty unexpected and abstract. 

Comments

• Carey Mulligan is so pretty and charming. Her smiles work wonders
• The killings in the movie are quite gory and bloody. 
• The soundtrack has some feel good songs. 
• The driver doesn't have a name.

For serious film buffs who prefer some understated action and not over the top stuff. Won't run much in India if it releases.
