From Drive to his most recent film TheGrayMan, RyanGosling has had his share of badass roles in action, sci-fi, and dramatic films.
In The Gray Man, Netflix’s big summer action movie event directed by Joe and Anthony Russo , Ryan Gosling plays a shadowy CIA agent who , “uncovers damning agency secrets” and is “hunted across the globe by a sociopathic rogue operative who’s put a bounty on his head.” Gosling is new to such roles, so perhaps he can be forgiven if he wasn’t aware that this is the plot of basically every international spy thriller ever made, including at least four with Bourne in the title.
Drive In Drive, Gosling plays a Los Angeles stunt driver by day and a criminal getaway driver by night, who falls for his elfin neighbor and descends deeper into the mob underworld as he tries to protect her and her kid from some bad dudes. Gosling would work with Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn two years later in the Bangkok-set Only God Forgives, but if both movies traffic in ultraviolence, Drive does so with much more coherence and charm.
Black’s obsession with sexualizing nubile young women, evident in much of his work, reaches its distasteful peak here, but if you can look past that, the movie is laid-back and confident, and features terrific buddy chemistry from Gosling and Crowe, along with a charismatic turn from Angourie Rice as March’s 13-year-old daughter. Gosling can come off as robotic in some of his performances, so it’s a revelation to see him loose-limbed and even mugging a little .
If anything gave Chazelle the confidence needed to stage one of the most awe-inspiring feats of all time, it was choreographing a dance sequence on an L.A. freeway in La La Land. Surely if you can make L.A. commuters appear happy to be stuck on the 105, then depicting a realistic moon landing is cake.
