Like Walter Hills The Driver back in 1978, Nicolas Winding Refns Drive opens with a downtown car chase, though it swaps out the Ryan at the wheel: this time its Gosling instead of ONeal, but he still pays the Driver, a getaway man of few words and many strict professional guidelines. This Driver, however, operates in a European vision of 21st-century Los Angeles, working part-time for a garage and part-time for the movies while getting more involved than he should with both the mob (based in the thoroughly criminal San Fernando Valley) and the mom next door in his Westlake apartment building.
