Drive (2011)

BBC TWO, 11.00PM

With its glistening cinematography and synthy score, Nicolas Winding Refn’s absorbing thriller about a stuntman turned getaway driver is as chic as they come – a neon-lit pastiche of old-school noir. Our hero (Ryan Gosling) is known only as “The Driver” or “The Kid”. When he encounters a neighbour (Carey Mulligan), his life careers out of control. Albert Brooks also stars.
