just finished watching it an hour ago..... it was pretty ok.

type of movie I love.....human drama with lots of suprise violence(like pulp fiction, inglorius bastards, good bad ugly.)....and WOW IS IT FUCKING OVERRATED. I went in after peoples opinions and reviews expecting it to become one of my favorite movies ever...probably most disappointed ive been with a movie since the departed.

I like Drive....LIKE....is it in my top 100 movies of all time??? nope.

back in september I said I had a MAJOR problem with movie...M A J O R.....but since people might not have seen it i will reserve problem to myself.

really don't see what was so great about it. I enjoyed Brooks, but gosling just isn't much of an actor. He's a pretty face and decent performer, but just doesn't do it for me. He's like dicaprio but not quite as good at acting... he doesn't MOVE ME GUYS.

The music was very good and the driving scenes were alright, but there was not a real provocative story. And the female lead was not hot at all and couldn't act for shit. I went in expecting great things because people said it was so innovative and original, but I found it to be anything but.

PRETTY OK... mate are u serious?



It was shithouse

hahaha, im a big gosling fan, but just never got into it :( maybe im too young

I never heard a thing about this movie (apparently I live under a rock) but rented it last night and thought it was really good. Of course, I thought I was renting some sort of Fast and Furious knock off so I was pleasantly surprised.

when compared to the shit that came out last year, yeah it was excellent i'll give u thaT.

Expected more driving, too much drama with the chick. It was like a flashback to dexter meeting his girl. They did a good job of raising tension tho but it would go too long.

I enjoyed the violent parts and driving. Didn't even see her tits ffs.
I liked Albert brooks in that role too.

So in summary...needed sex, needed less filler drama tension, needed more driving and I thought the music was crap. I had to mute some of it. (insert your too old rip here. Not too old to remember good music tho.)

It started strong, the middle was kinda semi weak, decent finish. Would've took the money at the end tho. What point is there letting the cops pocket it? It's LA!
It had a lot of potential but didn't reach it. Kinda had a michael Mann feel to the directing and choreography which isn't a bad thing.

Just my opinion.

Watched it last night. skisteve sums it up perfectly. I was pissed that the stock car never made it to the track as well.

This was my thread on it when it came out: http://www.pocketfives.com/f13/movie...2011-a-648257/

fixed it, i enjoyed it thoroughly and thought it was well cast, Cranston and Perlman were the highlight for me.

agree that it could've had more action and not been semi-ruined by a love story. I would've preferred to have seen it done in a episodic format, as opposed to a single film. A great character driven (lol) story like that could turn out to me a modern, American, live-action Initial D.

what the hell would you go and do that shit for?

Watched b/c of this thread. Liked it for sure. The moments of nothing but eye contact were amazingly powerful and somewhat uncomfortable. The only thing I didn't care for were the gaps in story. Like, what was Gosling doing before LA? and what the hell is supposed to happen next?! I understand leaving some of the wonderment to the viewer but this dude needs some GAHT-DAMN resolution!!
