Drive (2011)


A part time wheel man finds himself in deep shit when a pawn shop robbery nets 10 million dollars and the ire of the local wise guy. This is a very easy watch.. no complex story elements or plot twists, no boring character development. Its almost like watching a John Hughes film without the brat pack. Very 80's tempo soundtrack and boy meets girl story that gets kicked over when a third returns to the scene. Things quickly head south from there and our hero must remain true to his macho urges despite what should have been long odds. There are a couple scenes of fairly realist and graphic violence with accompanying sound FX. WARNING: if you are squeamish one scene may send you running to the bathroom (if this is you when the guy with the mangled hands shows up in the Pizzaria go find something to do for about 2 minutes). Nice easy entertainment with a little white hat bad boy macho thrown in for flavor. Recommended.
