7 Great Mysterious Strangers in Movies
5. "Driver" from Drive (2011)
Another "Driver" on the list comes in the form of Ryan Gosling's reserved, seemingly bipolar get-away, movie stunt driver, which not only makes for a fantastic character, but an awesome sentence to type. Driver gets by with jobs as a mechanic, Hollywood stunt man, and highway escape artists before becoming emotionally involved with the petite and alluring Irene (played by Carey Mulligan). But his identity remains in the shadows the entire film, as just when you've become used to the elevator skull-bashing and bullet-hammering protagonist, the film ends with a wisp, leaving viewers longing for Gosling to take up another adventure in the scorpion jacket."How 'bout this? You shut your mouth. Or I'll kick your teeth down your throat and I'll shut it for you."
