Before the world embraced his Kenergy inBarbie, many would have said that Ryan Gosling’s most iconic movie was probablyDrive. Nicolas Winding Refn’s 2013 flick is a darling of cinema fans everywhere, and for good reason.

Unfortunately, however, you’ll need to put your foot down to catch it onNetflix, because it’s leaving the streaming service on the 4th of January. That’s not long to enjoy a movie with a deserved 93% onRotten Tomatoes.

Driveis a brilliantly unique movie that combines some amazingly shot car chases, a burning romance, and some unflinchingly horrible violence. It often goes a long time without dialogue, relying instead on the superb soundtrack. If you’ve seenThe KilleronNetflix, there are plenty of parallels to be drawn, and both feature unnamed protagonists. So what’s it about?

I won’t say much more to avoid spoilers but it’s a superb action drama with some complex characters. Luckily a host of incredible actors are on hand to give them weight. Alongside Gosling and Mulligan are the likes of Bryan Cranston, Christina Hendricks, Oscar Isaac, Albert Brooks and Ron Pearlman.

Unusually, Ryan Gosling was given the chance to choose a director for this picture and Refn proved to be a brilliantly unorthodox selection. The Danish filmmaker has an eclectic filmography includingBronson, The Neon Demonand bizarrely an upcoming remake of Enid Blyton’sThe Famous Five. Hopefully, that will be more family-friendly.
