Answer:

Pathos

Step-by-step explanation:

This review for the movie "Drive" is mainly using pathos as it is an emotional appeal, specifically through the use of humor. The review is expressing the reviewer's personal feelings towards the actors in the movie and how the film impacted them emotionally. The use of the word "crush" implies a strong emotional attachment and the playful tone is meant to evoke a similar response in the reader.

While the it does not employ logos (logical argument) or ethos (appeal to authority or credibility), it could be argued that the reviewer's status as a social media user and their ability to post a public review lends some credibility to their opinion. However, overall, it is mostly an emotional response and an attempt to connect with others who may share similar feelings about the movie and its actors.
