Drive was awful. Boring as shit, with literally 45 minutes of close ups of Ryan Gosling’s pensively staring face. If I wanted to see that, I’d just pause the movie. Also, for a movie called “drive”, there is next to no actual driving. There’s a driving sequence in the beginning where nothing of real interest happens, and then a time that is best comparable to “forever” into the movie, he finally gets the 5.0 mustang, and can barely outrun a 300C with it in a very short chase.
It has christina hendricks in it, which would be awesome, except they dressed her up in frumpy clothing and whore makeup.
Worst of all are all the scenes where he and the female love interest just sort of stare at each other and don’t say anything. There’s a lot of that, and it honestly feels like the actors just forgot their lines. Despite the well-established fact that “violence is one of the most fun things to watch”, the actual violent scenes in Drive were not, instead ranging from “unsatisfying” to “uncomfortable”
Don’t bother with it. Go watch something good, like Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
