QADR: Drive

Here’s my “Quick and Dirty Review” of “Drive.”

Wow. Not sure what people are thinking, calling this a modern classic? Nope. If you want that, see "Nightcrawler." Hell, "Baby Driver" is a better "getaway driver" movie and at least brings something inventive to the table. I watched this with much anticipation, having heard it was a great movie. Not really.

Let's watch the two main characters stare at each other for long, soundless scenes, populate the film with ZERO interesting characters, and then top it of by having a main character with the emotional range of a toothpick (see what I did there). It's too bad - Gosling's a great actor (just not in this) and I loved the director's "Neon Demon."

Oh well, you can't win them all...and hey, you haters? Love this movie all you want. Grovel at its feet, tell everyone it’s amazing. You do you. Doesn’t mean everyone has to like it. 3 out of 10.
