zeitgeist57 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Movie...with Ryan Gosling. Great film. I love the cheesy 80s influences, the great camera angles...really draws you in. Great acting on Ryan's part as well. Oh yeah...waaaaay better "car-guy-movie-with-a-legit-storyline" movie than Fast and Furious... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I shit you not when I say I just finished watching that a couple minutes ago. I felt like I was watching a movie written and directed by a guy who lived in the 80's/only watched 80's movies. Decent movie. Not alot of dialogue but a lot of dramatic stills. Little slow after the beginning but picks back up. Not the best movie I've ever seen but worth the watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I compare it to the newer Miami Vice (with Jamie Foxx)...more cinematography/soundtrack than with a 130-page script. Loved the way I felt while watching it... EDIT: Only bitch I have is the vocals were really quiet. I had to keep going back a few seconds and cranking up the volume to hear the dialogue.

macpyro2 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I almost posted this movie when I watched it when I was gone, loved it. I would say its a for sure love or hate kind of movie though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWW$HEEET Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I think I reviewed it a few months ago on here. Great flick. Opening song is "nightcall" by kavinsky. Very 80s, very fucking cool. Look it up on youtube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickey4271647545519 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 If I drive for you, you give me a time and a place. I give you a five-minute window, anything happens in that five minutes and I'm yours no matter what. I don't sit in while you're running it down; I don't carry a gun... I drive.

PRD2BDF Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Hated this movie. I felt ripped off. It said "Drive" so I thought that it might be full of driving. Nope. 5 minutes of actual driving and 80 or so minutes of silence and staring. What a rip-off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vocals were an issue for me, as well. I'd turn it up for the vocals and then get blasted out by a car scene and turn it back down. I did expect a bit more driving, too.

Nope. 5 minutes of actual driving and 80 or so minutes of silence and staring. What a rip-off. I felt the same when I went to see fast & furious but watched 2 hours of civics and 30 seconds of Charger. I did really enjoy Drive though.

Not Brian Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I just watched this tonight going in with low expectations and was blown away. The cinematography and music really set a cool atmosphere for the movie and it quickly became one of my favorites. The calm, collected driver is a great character. If you're a blockhead budweiser drinker looking for an hour of gay car chases and explosions you won't like this movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoe Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 This movie should have been called "Dive", it was slower than anything you can drive. It took forever for nothing to happen. And the acting sucked. Blazing Saddles had more to offer about driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyFKINPowerz Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Half way through it now and I would have to say it OK at best so far. The cinematography is cool but the small amount of dialog and just starring and smiling kinda sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bicranium Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Still a great movie...good background flick when chilling at night... Watched it for the first time maybe a month or two ago and have probably watched it 6-7 times since then like you said, as a background movie. Just put it on and do other stuff. Great music and everything else. Also just because Gosling is in this, I watched The Ides of March the same day I watched Drive for the first time. Gosling is really starting to pull a DiCaprio where he goes from being this teeny bopper heartthrob to an incredible actor in great movies. Still a long way to go before he catches up to what DiCaprio has done in the last decade or so but he seems to have the potential if he keeps choosing good movies.
