    Storyline

    • Trivia
      In preparation for his role, Ryan Gosling restored the 1973 Chevy Malibu that his character uses in the film.
    • Goofs
      In one shot, the tachometer on Driver's steering column reads 0 RPMs and none of the other gauges are reading normally for driving. This is likely due to the vehicle being towed on a dolly. The tachometer can be seen working in other shots.
    • Quotes

      [first lines]

      Driver: [on phone] There's a hundred-thousand streets in this city. You don't need to know the route. You give me a time and a place, I give you a five minute window. Anything happens in that five minutes and I'm yours. No matter what. Anything happens a minute either side of that and you're on your own. Do you understand?

      [pause]

      Driver: Good. And you won't be able to reach me on this phone again.

    • Alternate versions
      The preview version of the movie has slightly different dialogue in the telephone conversation between Bernie Rose and Driver preceding the meeting at the Great Wall restaurant. Regular theatrical cut Driver: [to Bernie] You know the story about the scorpion and the frog? Your friend Nino didn't make it across the river. Preview version Bernie Rose: Where's Nino? Driver: He's Gone. The reference to the story about the scorpion and the frog was left out of the preview version.

    Immersive and edgy with a retro feel
    Loved this movie, perfectly cast with a simple but effective storyline. The film started with a tense scene and managed to hold my interest right to the end thanks to it's open plot, which could have gone a number of ways. Despite being set in the present day, the soundtrack and visuals had a subtle vintage (80s synthwave) feel to them, which added to the character of the movie in a really effective way. I'd describe it as a dark action movie. It's very violent, but not in an upsetting or disturbing way. All of the actors performed well, but Gosling and Cranston were the stars of the show for me.

    Bring on the Cranston!
