2011 Movies: #1

Ref: Mulhern

Leaving me no time again, B! *shakes fist*

#1 Drive

Excellent, excellent, excellent. From the opening sequence that takes a clever turn to the slow darkening of the action, Drive keeps the viewer captivated until its conclusion and leaves room for debate later. Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan share a powerful relationship that doesn't need explication. An excellent soundtrack underscores the action. Although I would have probably cringed less at a more caper-esque version of this film, I wouldn't trade the finished product for anything.

That's all, folks! Just under the wire!
