(2011, Nicholas Winding Refn)
Ryan Gosling stars with Albert Brooks, Ron Perlman, Bryan Cranston and Carey Mulligan in this story of a stunt car driver who moonlights as a criminal wheelman. This is a solid film. I liked Refn's Valhalla Rising (2009) and this film has an engaging style and some gritty, visceral violence and action that evokes Sam Peckinpah. Great supporting cast with plenty of actors drawn from cable television's "A-list" (Ron Perlman, Christina Hendricks, Bryan Cranston). Some tender moments and believable tension make this a must see. Interesting soundtrack choices too which echo the early eighties and a Michael Mann-esque, Miami Vice-like sensibility. (6/7) See it.
