The third brush five years later, I have been reluctant to look at it for so many years. Just like the girl whom she admired when she was young, she was gentle and charming, she couldn't forget her love but she couldn't. Hit a three-star like a puff, and pick up some problems abruptly, as if you have regrets and shortcomings before you can leave some thoughts about it. This is indeed a poem-like noir film. It has the best visual appeal since NWR's career as a director. The light and shadow use cold and warm and vivid emotions, and the actors' performances are extremely delicate.

Nicholas Winding Refn is really amazing, such a vulgar story can be filmed like this. The handsome and smoking Ryan Gosling is integrated with the character and the whole film. The feminine restraint can break out in an instant. The four violent scenes in the film are so good that people want to press the replay button. I want to watch it again when it's officially released!

Shannon: [about Driver] You know, he walked into my shop here about five or six years ago, right out of the blue asking for a job. So I put him to the test to see what he could do. The kid's amazing.
Irene: Yeah.
Shannon: So I hired him on the spot. Boom.
[snaps fingers]
Shannon: At about half the wages I normally pay. He didn't blink an eye.
[to Driver]
Shannon: Hey kid, come over here for a second, will you?
[back to Irene]
Shannon: And I have been exploiting him ever since.
[Shannon laughs]
Shannon: Don't tell him.
