'Drive' starring Ryan Gosling

Here's a clip from Nicolas Winding Refn's Drive. Refn recently took out the best director prize at Cannes for his suspense film about a Hollywood stunt driver who moonlights as a getaway driver in the criminal underworld. Seems a little odd for the Cannes folk to bestow this award on a director of what looks to be a worn-out genre pic on the surface. But I will say that most of us are yet to see this film. And judging by the clip below, Drive looks to impose its own unique spin on the getaway formula so I guess we'll wait and see. I'm a big fan of Ryan Gosling's work. He seems to have Leonardo DiCaprio's knack of choosing great roles (watch out for him as Steve Carell's sidekick in the upcoming Crazy, Stupid, Love) and surrounding himself with only the best talent. Looking forward to this.
