Director : Nicolas Winding Refn
Running Time : 99 mins
A nameless Hollywood stunt-driver (Gosling), who is trying to get away from his dodgy past as a getaway driver, is working as a car mechanic when he falls for his neighbour Irene (Mulligan), whose husband is in jail. As he is faced with being implicated in his boss’s gangland-funded race team, he also has to deal with Irene’s husband who is fresh out of prison.
This movie took a while to get going, but the performances, especially from Gosling, were solid and compelling. Although the storyline was, in my opinion, a little weak, the handling of the subject matter was done subtly and smoothly, and managed to make a heroic figure out of a character who is basically a violent thug.
