Good movie but grossly overrated
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
I really enjoyed this, only watched it y'day as I'm not one for watching the latest and greatest. Very surprised at Ryan's Gosling's performance and his out of character performance, matched perfectly with music and Carey Mulligan. Is it realistic? Don't know, but it's captivating and we'll worth the viewing. As one of the songs is titled "a real hero". Surely not a waste of 90 mins or however long this movie is in one's otherwise mundane life as a contrast to superhero movies?
Drive is neither a bad movie nor a good one. Actually I don't know what to think about it. We can't say it's an action movie bacause if it was so, we should admit it's a bad one because the plot is not sophisticated. It's not even a love movie, because even if Carey Mulligan's and Ryan Gosling's characters kinda fell in love, we can't see the development of a love story, but just a little bit of it. Beside everything said until now, the saddest thing of the movie is the fact that you don't emphasize with the characters that seems to be really far from the audience.
Every time I watch this film I enjoy it as much as the first time. The acting is great, Gosling is mysterious and exciting, and the rest of the cast are all excellent. Winding-Refn made a classic in this film, and it's a shame he couldn't keep his momentum on later films.
Another crappy movie I remember watching at the cinema some years ago. I think it was 2011. Weak acting, no plot, weak characters, boring movie. I have been working all my life in television, translating movies. I don't want to be mean, but I think people that gave this movie above 7 or 8, must be stupid and shouldn't be allowed to rate movies. I have watched great movies from The Godfather to Scent Of A Woman to U-Turn by the great Oliver Stone. This movie does not deserve the rating it has. It shouldn't have a higher rating than Leon, like somebody else said it.
