Why so much hype?
Brilliant and touching
A Masterpiece!
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Although the cast is exelent, the acting was dire and the film was extremely slow. Not much happens in the film apart from long blank stares from most of the cast. I would advise you not to watch this film unless you would like to got to sleep. I don't know how this film was nominated for an Oscar and a 7.8 rating. Indeed of spending an hour and a half on this film, do ANYTHING else instead.
Drive is one of the best crime thrillers of the 21st century it's violent and a lot of fun to watch. Not because of big explosions or huge car chases either it just simply builds intensity right from the start and ends with a bang!
Drive is interesting, but it's too slow for its own good. Most of the time is spent with the characters silently staring at each other as the cool synthpop soundtrack plays in the background. It wasn't that I was expecting an action-packed adventure - I knew what this film was going into it - but it still felt tediously drawn-out. Or maybe I shouldn't watch these types of movies when I'm sick.
There are large amounts of this film when Ryan gosling basically says nothing, this can be annoying. However the film looks great and some great actions scenes. It's not a great film but it's a good watch.
