DRIVE Blu-Ray (**½, 100 mins., 2011, R; Sony): Hailed by critics more than embraced by audiences, Nicolas Winding Refn’s “Drive” is likely to further polarize viewers when it hits Blu-Ray next week.
Ryan Gosling plays a mostly-mute driver in a dreamy, noir-soaked Los Angeles, pulling off various contracts for hire and trying to keep a low profile whenever he’s not working as a stunt-driver on locally shot films. His latest gig includes working for a local mobster (an effective Albert Brooks), but when the recently-paroled husband of his good-looking neighbor (Carey Mulligan) gets out of the big house and ends up owing a debt, both elements fuse together and cause Gosling’s man-of-few-words to suddenly become a man of action.
