Albert Brooks plays a crime lord with a thing for forks, Ron Perlman is the Jewish gangster who does business in a pizza parlor, and Bryan Cranston plays Driver's best buddy, giving this film plenty of acting horsepower.
Drive is a gritty yet glamorous film bursting with action. European director Nicolas Refn does a wonderful job with this ultraviolent, ultrastylish flick.

There isn't much actual driving in the film. Sure, there is a car chase here and there, but the movie is more about the questionable choices that drive people—and drive them away.
The flick-o-meter gives Drive a solid four out of five.
