Something of a neo-noir arthouse crime film its about an unnamed Hollywood stunt performer (played by Gosling) who moonlights as a getaway driver. It was a critical and commercial success and is now regarded as something of a cult film.  My criticism of the film is that it is extremely violent so not a film for people who don't like the sight of bloody on screen! Having said that Gosling is brilliant in it, a very intense film and definitely worth watching.
