- Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
"Buckle up for the existential bloodbath of Drive, a brilliant piece of business that races on a B-movie track until it switches to the dizzying fuel of undiluted creativity."
-Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
"Drive takes the tired heist-gone-bad genre out for a spin, delivering fresh guilty-pleasure thrills in the process."
-Peter Debruge,Variety
"Gosling's masculine, minimalist approach makes him mysteriously compelling. Yes, there's the fact that he's gorgeous. But he also does so much with just a subtle glance, by just holding a moment a beat or two longer than you might expect."
-Christy Lemire, Associated Press
"Drive revels in sensory detail; it's a visually and aurally edgy Euro-influenced American genre movie about the coolness of noir-influenced American genre movies about the coolness of driving - especially in L.A."
-Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
"Anyone watching Drive won't be able to take their eyes off Gosling. Playing a Hollywood stunt driver who moonlights as a wheelman for criminals, he rocks like a young Steve McQueen or Robert De Niro."
-Peter Howell, Toronto Star
"The extreme and escalating violence will prove off-putting to some-frankly, I'm surprised not to have been among them-but for the rest, Drive is a needle-punch of adrenaline to the aorta."
-Christopher Orr, The Atlantic
"[Gosling] and this powerful film, which is ultimately about a moment of grace, deserve each other. He's the medium's most graceful minimalist."
-Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
"Here is still another illustration of the old Hollywood noir principle that a movie lives its life not through its hero, but within its shadows."
-Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"Enters the viewer like a sharp unseen blade."
-Dana Stevens, Slate
