Hello friends, I'm here with another interesting movie title Drive and I would like to share you with here.
The movie is about a stuntman and getaway driver falls in love with Irene, who is married to a criminal. In a bid to protect her from her husband and some gangsters, he decides to cross over to the other side of the law.
It begins when a man (billed as “The Driver”), works as a mechanic, a stunt double, a stunt driver, and a criminal-for-hire getaway driver in Los Angeles, California.
His jobs are all managed by auto shop owner Shannon, who persuades Jewish-American mobster Bernie Rose and his half-Italian partner Niño “Izzy” Paolozzi to purchase a car for the Driver to race.
The Driver meets his new neighbor, Irene, and grows close to her and her young son, Benicio.
Their relationship is interrupted when Irene's husband, Standard Gabriel, arrives after his release from prison.
Standard owes protection money from his time in prison and is assaulted by Albanian gangster Chris Cook.
He demands that Standard rob a pawn shop for $40,000 to pay off the debt, threatening that otherwise he will hurt Benicio and Irene.
Learning this, the Driver offers to act as the getaway driver for the pawn shop robbery.
While the Driver is waiting outside the pawn shop with Blanche, Cook's accomplice, Standard is killed by the store owner.
The Driver and Blanche are then pursued by another car.
The Driver hides with Blanche in a motel, where he learns that the pawn shop owner claims Standard was the sole perpetrator and no money was stolen.
He threatens Blanche when she lies about being oblivious to the second car.
She admits that the bag contains $1 million, and she and Cook planned to re-steal the money for themselves using the car that chased them.
While Blanche is in the restroom, she is killed with a shotgun by one of Cook's henchmen. The Driver fatally stabs the gunman before killing another one with the shotgun.
At the auto shop, Shannon offers to hide the money, but the Driver declines. He tracks Cook to a strip club and threatens to kill him.
Cook reveals that Niño was behind the robbery. The Driver calls him, offering to give back the money in exchange for being left out of the affair.
Niño dismisses his offer, instead sending a hitman to the Driver and Irene's apartment building.
The Driver tells an angry Irene about his involvement with her husband's death. When the pair enters an elevator, the Driver notices the hitman.
He kisses Irene and then brutally stomps the hitman to death, horrifying Irene.
Knowing that someone must have leaked the Driver's whereabouts for Niño to know his address.
The Driver confronts Shannon, who reveals that he called Bernie to tell him about the money, in the process also unwittingly mentioning Irene.
A furious Driver tells Shannon to flee, warning that Niño will surely now hunt them both.
At his pizzeria, Niño reveals to Bernie that a low-level Italian-American Philadelphia mobster from the “East Coast mob” stashed the money at the pawn shop, with plans to use the money to set up a new operation.
Since anyone tied to the robbery could lead the East Coast Italian Mafia to them, they need to kill everyone involved.
He convinces Bernie to follow his plan. Bernie murders Cook, as he is the sole witness to their agreement.
After Shannon refuses to divulge the whereabouts of the Driver at the auto shop, Bernie slashes his forearm with a straight razor, killing him.
Find out what happened next as Shannon refuses to divulge the whereabouts of the Driver at the auto shop, Bernie slashes his forearm with a straight razor killing him as it gets interesting.
Thanks for reading my post.
I had seen the trailer of this movie and I assumed they were just giving it too much hype but when I finally watched it, I had to admit that Ryan gosling had chosen one hell of a script
I liked how the crime action in "Drive" was done differently than what you typically get in the big budget movies of this genre. I think it is important to note the fact "Drive" is a movie by director Nicolas Winding Refn, who's also filmed "Only God Forgives" as well as "Copenhagen Cowboy" series.
