WANNA FIGHT?



Nicolas Winding Refn and Ryan Gosling follow-up Drive with Only God Forgives, a Thailand set thumper about an underworld enforcer trying to discover who snuffed out his brother while his gleaming harridan of a mother gazes on. The ads light on details, but Gosling dragging a man around by his jaw would seem to promise a similar juice to their last collaboration. My last few viewings of Drive have given me a Blade Runner vibe - both films move on their music, using it to explain extrovert feelings for introvert people. Like Deckard, The Driver is a still figure anchored to his apartment, and capable of extreme violence.
