Um Homem De Sorte Drive Today

Director: Nicolas Winding Refn Starring: Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan, Bryan Cranston, Albert Brooks, Ron Perlman Genre: Action / Drama / Neo-noir Synopsis A quiet, unnamed Hollywood stunt driver (Gosling) works as a getaway driver for hire. He falls for his neighbor Irene (Mulligan) and her young son. When her husband is released from prison and gets mixed up with dangerous criminals, the driver agrees to help—triggering a bloody chain of violence. What Works Brilliantly 1.

Gosling speaks maybe 25 lines in the first hour, yet his presence commands every frame. Brooks, known for comedy, plays mob boss Bernie
