Drive (2011) – Review

An unnamed stunt driver (Ryan Gosling) spends his days working as a mechanic and driver in the movie world, while occasionally taking on jobs as a getaway driver for criminals in Los Angeles, United States. Living a relatively quiet life, he soon develops a friendship with his neighbour Irene (Carey Mulligan) and her young son, before becoming involved in a dangerous situation following the release of Irene’s husband from prison. Initially, he seems to have been pulled into a simple job, but this quickly snowballs into something far more serious. A memorable and equally as stylish crime thriller that has developed somewhat of a cult following. It’s worth noting that Drive is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

A man known as Papillon (Steve McQueen) is wrongly convicted of murder and sent to a French prison colony in South America, before forging an unlikely friendship with another inmate, Louis Dega (Dustin Hoffman).

Law Abiding Citizen (2009) – Review

When the United States justice system fails to properly punish those responsible for a brutal crime, Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler) takes matters into his own hands. What begins as a straightforward quest for revenge quickly evolves into a carefully planned assault on the legal system itself, leaving prosecutor Nick Rice (Jamie Foxx) struggling to keep up. Law Abiding Citizen is a compelling and thought-provoking film that still holds up perfectly in 2025. It’s worth noting that the movie is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

Saltburn (2023) – Review

Struggling away from home and finding his place at Oxford University, student Oliver Quick (Barry Keoghan) quickly finds himself drawn into the glitzy world of the charming and extremely wealthy Felix Catton (Jacob Elordi), who consequently invites him to Saltburn, his wildly eccentric family estate, for a summer never to be forgotten. A unique plot which will more than likely divide opinion, but in my eyes, worthy of a watch. Saltburn is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
