The pacing is near glacial, and even the action scenes have a sort of calm brutality to them. But this is not an action movie. It's a goddamn work of art. Ryan Gosling is the quintessential man of few words, who interacts with his world without ever really engaging it. It's as if he's grown immune to adrenalin, and the quiet parts of his life are impossibly far away and drift past like highway scenery. The cinematography, pacing, and 80s synth soundtrack all draw the audience out of the immediacy of the action and present it with that same cold, insulated reticence. Movie owns, watch it.

5/5
