<\/p>\n
Every once in a while, a movie comes out that redefines \u201ccool.\u201d It seems to have a ripple effect on every piece of pop culture in its wake\u2013from other movies paying tribute to it, to music, to TV, and everything else under the sun. Think of the waves of parodies to follow movies like\u00a0The Matrix\u00a0<\/em>or\u00a0Pulp Fiction<\/em>. They had their own unique look down pat. In 2011, that movie was\u00a0Drive<\/em>. The silent antihero. The 80s synth-wave. The slow-mo. Drive was iconic and we\u2019re still feeling its effects to this day –\u00a0Stranger Things<\/em>,\u00a0The Guest<\/em>\u00a0and every type of vaporwave nostalgia owe\u00a0Drive<\/em>\u00a0a huge debt of gratitude.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Drive<\/em>\u00a0is totally self-aware and knows how clever it is, but never devolves into a parody of movies that it lovingly homages. If anything, its self-awareness is part of its overall earnestness.\u00a0Drive<\/em>\u00a0is a movie with heart. The reason the movie is thrilling isn\u2019t because of car chases, action or mayhem. It\u2019s thrilling because we care about what happens to its characters.\u00a0 When the nameless Driver (played by Ryan Gosling) stomps a man\u2019s head in, it\u2019s not a \u201cWhoa, cool!\u201d moment. It\u2019s layered with tragedy, knowing that his quickness to employ gruesome violence is part of his nature and represents a point of no return for him.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Driver is a stunt driver for the movies by the day, and at night he\u2019s a getaway driver for robberies. His rules are simple:\u00a0\u201cYou give me a time and a place, I give you a five-minute window. Anything happens in those five minutes and I’m yours. No matter what. Anything happens a minute on either side of that and you’re on your own.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0In the opening chase sequence (in a movie called\u00a0Drive<\/em>, I think it\u2019s awesome that there are only two car chases), Driver, instead of punching the car like Bullitt and swerving through crowded streets, plays a game of cat and mouse with the police. He accelerates to punch out his car to an advantage, waits in the shadows, listens to the police scanner, and keeps ahead of his pursuers by a couple of steps psychologically. And in a moment of too-coolness, he pulls the car into a crowded area, puts on a hat, takes off his jacket, and blends in with the crowd. Job done. Cue the main title sequence.<\/p>\n Irene is his neighbor in an apartment complex you don\u2019t normally see in the movies.\u00a0 In the movies, if a character doesn\u2019t have a lot of money, they still always live somewhere with a nice view and modern appliances. The apartment complex in\u00a0Drive<\/em>\u00a0is something realistically and quintessentially LA.\u00a0 It looks lived in. It looks real.\u00a0Drive<\/em>\u00a0is to LA as\u00a0Star Wars<\/em>\u00a0is to its own fantastical sci-fi universe.<\/p>\n When Driver meets Irene, they have an instant attraction. He falls for her, but she has one problem: A husband named Standard (Oscar Isaac, who continues to be one of the best living actors today) is due to be released from prison. Driver agrees to help Standard with some problems he\u2019s having, with gangsters who say he owes them money. Driver arranges a means of pulling off a heist, a one last heist, to get the gangsters the money that they say is owed to them, and then after that, the agreement is that they leave Standard, and his family, alone for good. There\u2019s internal strife between organized crime soldiers Bernie (Ron Perlman) and Nino (Albert Brooks) and the \u201cfamily\u201d back home. Driver unwittingly gets in the middle of it and becomes a complication that would be better off erased.<\/p>\n Drive<\/em>\u00a0remains Winding Refn\u2019s most accessible movie, while still rife with the directorial trademarks and flourishes he\u2019s known for. There are long, hallucinatory stretches of silence. Apparently, huge swaths of dialogue were done away with when he signed on as director, taking a red pen to the script.\u00a0 Refn loves to tell a story visually, to the point of obsession. There\u2019s an expression sometimes in writing that he seems to have taken to heart: Why tell it when you can show it?<\/p>\n As focused on visuals as it may be,\u00a0Drive<\/em>\u00a0actually seems to be having fun with the actors and performances, watching someone like Bryan Cranston as Driver\u2019s good friend and mentor, Shannon, limp around, chain smoke and espouse life lessons in a gravelly voice.\u00a0 The ensemble cast\u00a0is amazing.\u00a0 Christina Hendricks shows up in a bit role to help with the heist to get Standard out of trouble.\u00a0 Albert Brooks plays against type as a sympathetic villain.\u00a0 Ron Perlman plays Ron Perlman, beautifully so.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Drive<\/em>\u00a0is one of those \u201clove it or hate it\u201d movies. If you\u2019re expecting it to be a movie in the tradition of the\u00a0Fast and the Furious<\/em>\u00a0series, only more serious, and with Ryan Gosling as the lead, you\u2019re probably going to be incredibly disappointed. If you go in to the movie knowing that it\u2019s going to be an offbeat, show-offy work from a European director and is less concerned with cars and more of a contemplation on violence, you\u2019ll have a better idea of what to expect.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n VIDEO<\/p>\n Drive<\/em>\u00a0is gorgeous, bathed-in-neon picture from start to finish. And while it\u2019s always been an attractive movie, from its theatrical release to previous Blu-ray editions, this 4K master, courtesy of Second Sight, takes it to another level. The dark\/light levels are incredibly adept,\u00a0Drive<\/em>\u00a0will have scenes take place during the darkest of nights and during the brightest of days in sunny Los Angeles. No matter what extreme, it always looks natural and balanced.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n AUDIO<\/p>\n Second Sight\u2019s release on 4K features a Dolby Atmos mix that helps elevate and widen the soundstage a bit. It\u2019s not leaps and bounds above its predecessor Blu Ray release, but in certain scenes, the enhancement is noticeable and welcome. In the beginning cat-and-mouse chase scene, the front, height speakers and rear speakers work in a wonderful unison to simulate a circling police helicopter. When the main title sequence blasts to life, \u201cNightcall\u201d by Kavinsky fires across the entire soundstage, (front, back, and from above) enveloping the listener in a bubble.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n EXTRAS<\/p>\n Like its previous Blu-ray release, while there aren\u2019t hours and hours of features to keep you entertained, or a booklet with essays like you\u2019d find in a Criterion release, the features that are there will help deepen your understanding of the film and familiarize you with the process of making this modern-day masterpiece.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n FINAL THOUGHTS<\/p>\n Drive\u00a0<\/em>is an oddity, in that it\u2019s a hypnotic contemplation on violence in reality, and violence in film, with action sequences few and far between, but boasting demo-worthy visuals and audio during those tense, white-knuckle moments. It\u2019s both a thinker and a shower, allowing quiet moments to simmer with seriousness and louder moments to be more impactful and consequential. Second Sight\u2019s work here is, as usual, incredible and their release of\u00a0Drive<\/em>\u00a0on 4K Blu-ray is Highly\u00a0Recommended!<\/p>\n FILM VIDEO SOUND EXTRAS (Out of five stars)<\/p>\n
