Details: Product Description Ryan Gosling stars as a Hollywood stunt driver for movies by day and moonlights as a wheelman for criminals by night. Though a loner by nature, "Driver" can't help falling in love with his beautiful neighbour Irene (Carey Mulligan), a young mother dragged into a dangerous underworld by the return of her ex-convict husband. After a heist goes wrong, Driver finds himself driving defense for the girl he loves, tailgated by a syndicate of deadly serious criminals (Albert Brooks and Ron Perlman). Soon he realizes the gangsters are after more than the bag of cash and is forced to shift gears and go on the offense. Amazon.ca Denmark's Nicolas Winding Refn makes an electrifying return to Hollywood filmmaking with this 1980s-style noir, right down to the synth score and neon-pink credits (he released his American debut, Fear X, in 2003). Ryan Gosling puts his implacable quality to good use as an L.A. stunt driver whose world crumbles when he falls for the wrong woman (Carey Mulligan). Irene is hardly a femme fatale, but her incarcerated husband, Standard (Oscar Isaac), is another story. When her car breaks down, Driver recommends the auto shop where he works with Shannon ( Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston). The two start spending time together, but then Standard returns from prison. Driver keeps his distance until he discovers that Standard owes protection money. If he doesn't pay up, Irene and their son will suffer, so Driver offers to handle the wheel during a heist, a job with which he has more than a little experience, as the riveting opening sequence proves. While they plan their score with Blanche ( Mad Men's Christina Hendricks), Shannon makes a deal with a couple of gangsters (Albert Brooks and Ron Perlman), but when the plans collide: all hell breaks loose. In adapting James Sallis's novel, Refn builds to a bittersweet denouement, though the bursts of bloodshed will test even the hardiest of viewers. At its best, though, Drive is every bit as gripping as Reagan-era crime dramas like To Live and Die in L.A. and Thief. --Kathleen C. Fennessy Special Features Drive Without a Driver: Interview with Nicolas Winding Refn Documentary Featurettes: - I Drive - Under the Hood - Driver and Irene - Cut to the Chase From the Studio Ryan Gosling stars as a Los Angeles wheelman for hire, stunt driving for movie productions by day and steering getaway vehicles for armed heists by night. Though a loner by nature, Driver can't help falling in love with his beautiful neighbor Irene (Carey Mulligan), a vulnerable young mother dragged into a dangerous underworld by the return of her ex-convict husband Standard (Oscar Isaac). After a heist intended to pay off Standard's protection money spins unpredictably out of control, Driver finds himself driving defense for the girl he loves, tailgated by a syndicate of deadly serious criminals. But when he realizes that the gangsters are after more than the bag of cash in his trunk-that they're coming straight for Irene and her son-Driver is forced to shift gears and go on offense. Ryan Gosling incarne un double rôle de chauffeur : le jour, il effectue des cascades pour des productions hollywoodiennes; la nuit, il aide des voleurs à s’échapper lors de braquages à main armée. Malgré sa nature solitaire, il s’éprend de sa jolie voisine Irene (Carey Mulligan), une jeune mère vulnérable aux prises avec le monde interlope lorsque son mari Standard (Oscar Isaac) sort de prison. Standard, ayant contracté une dette derrière les barreaux, doit effectuer un vol pour rembourser son dû. Après que l’opération tourne horriblement mal, le chauffeur, maintenant talonné par une dangereuse bande de gangsters, doit adopter une conduite défensive pour protéger la femme qu’il aime. Mais lorsqu’il réalise que les brutes n’en ont pas qu’après l’argent qu’il traîne dans sa valise, qu’ils veulent aussi s’en prendre à Irene et à son fils, ce sera à son tour de charger.
