movie "Driver"

[NeoV]

After seeing some of you mention it among the best films of 2011 - I checked it out last night -all I can say is - WTF were you smoking?

Average at best.

The "driver" had about as much depth as ....anyone Keanu Reeves has every portrayed? Bella from Twilight has more depth than this guy.

He still wears his stupid "scorpion" jacket around town - covered in blood? Does the guy not have another coat?

Very much a let down...

i think you are talking about "Drive" not "Driver".

and yes, this movie was a bad movie IMO, I thought it sucked bad. wish i didn't watch it. awful acting to boot. only cool thing was the music in parts.

oh and there is already a dedicated thread about this movie, not sure why you had to start your own.

you guys have the right to be wrong

It's not for everyone. It was top 3 for me out of 2011.

At first I thought "wtf is this shit?" After watching him rip faces off I liked it more and understood the deep meaning of the film.

Great movie, unlike "Driver" (helps to get the name of the movie you're bashing right)

Watched it two nights ago and loved it. It may been a little slow in spots, a little too forced with the silent staring, but overall I thought it was a great film. Seems to be quite polarizing, though.

Blasphemy up in this thread.

Drive was a fantastic movie.

 

[zinfamous]

I still need to watch this. Based on the fact that some of you think it's terrible, I'm sure it's actually quite fantastic.

Drive is one of the best films ever made.

You either love it or hate it.

I enjoyed it, but yeah it had about 20 minutes of unnecessary staring and smiling.

 

[GTaudiophile]

Love it. Easily in my TOP 5 for 2011. I love the 80's throwback.

Awkward silences with creepy smiles. It wasn't terrible, it wasn't very good, either. For a movie about a wheel-man, it had very few driving sections, and the one it did have involved hiding in an alley half the time. The rest of it was just awkward silence punctuated by ultra-violence. Dude's got issues.

Watch Attack the Block instead

Watched DRIVE this weekend. Loved it.

I had heard mixed reviews and finally sat down and watched it a few weeks ago. It was a pretty good movie, one of the best of 2011. It was a crappy year for movies, so that isn't saying as much as it would in other years, but it is still a good movie. I'm eager to see how re-watchable it is.

 

[Red Storm]

Drive was a terrible movie. It's the first time I've listened to an AT movie suggestion and I regret it lol.

 

[KeithTalent]

Amazing film. Can't wait for my Blu-ray to show-up! Oh and I'm pretty sure this is a repost.

[amddude]

I really liked it

Same here. Once I got that the pacing was on purpose, was consistent and had a point I loved it

 

[Squisher]

Liked it, but have problems with movies that don't have endings.

Refn changed the ending to make it more ambiguous, which I am very happy with, but I understand some people do not like those types of endings. I wonder if the original ending is on the Blu-ray. :hmm:

Any idea what the original ending was?

Spoiler

perhaps ending with the dead looking gosling in the car?
