If You ride like lightning, you're gonna crash like thunder." The first 45 minutes of this movie are very good; the story has all sorts of potential & possibilities. Touching and intense with raw performances from everyone. The story slowly pulls you in, with Lukes' destructive character, then breaks your heart as you go for the ride (literally) the soundtrack is beautiful and it’s essentially three stories into one, each showing how choices affect everyone around us. I found the film very absorbing from the start with Ryan Gosling's character development on fast forward so at least 3 massive life events all happen in the first 20 minutes of the film. There's not a lot of action ...
