	Author	Review
United States	Carrie Rickey Philadelphia Inquirer	"A shamelessly entertaining genre movie from director Nicolas Winding Refn that plays like an exalted episode of Miami Vice (...) It's not art, but arty mainstream (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	Buckle up for the existential bloodbath of Drive, a brilliant piece of business that races on a B-movie track until it switches to the dizzying fuel of undiluted creativity (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)"	POS

United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	Here is still another illustration of the old Hollywood noir principle that a movie lives its life not through its hero, but within its shadows (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"A film in love with both traditional noir mythology and ultra-modern violence, a combination that is not ideal (...) "Drive" doesn't spend a lot of time on mayhem, but what does get put on screen is intense, unsettling and increasingly grotesque"	NEU
