I just did a review on a movie that is exceptionally good that I liked a lot so I figured that I should do a movie that I really hated at the same time. I didn't like this movie so much I couldn't even think of a cool title for this post, that's why all you see in the movie title. A lot of you are going to see my review of this movie and disagree with me while the other half probably can't agree more that this movie was horrible. But before we get into all of that I am going to try and be unbiased and give you a pretty good description of what the movie was about.
I'm going to try and not go into to much detail as to leave some suspense to the movie for you but as follows is basically what the movie is about. A mechanic/ stuntman/ get-away driver with a troubled and mysterious past starts to fall for his neighbor who is married to a guy in prison and is taking care of her kid by herself. When her husband comes home things start to take a turn for the worse when our driving protagonist takes a job to help him out of a bind and things start to snowball down hill from there. There is some other stuff that goes on with his boss at the garage that he works at who is trying to get him to join his racing team that he is trying to set up with borrowed mob money. As it turns out all of this is connected the fun begins.
Time for me to stop being unbiased and tell you how I felt about the movie. The movie as a whole sucked and there really isn't any other way to put it. There are people that say that its artistic and stuff like that but in reality it just wasn't a good movie. The people that do like it bring up the fact that the lack of dialog says more than actual words, I say that people sitting around staring at each other is boring. Not to mention with a title like Drive you would think that there would be more action packed driving sequences but there isn't. Actually to be exact there really is only one and a half. Further more the plot was very predictable and you could pretty much guess the ending from a mile away.
I accidentally stumbled across this movie one night when I was bored and I Googled "Top 10 Movies of 2011" and this was number two on pretty much all of the lists and it at least made top five in the ones that it didn't. So I looked it up and the trailer was very misleading, leading you to believe it was going to be an action packed driving movie, which it wasn't. In reality it's like someone took Transporter and douched it up and tried to make it artistic.
My advice on the subject is simple, don't watch this movie at all. Before I wrote this I actually had to look up the movie to see what it was about because all I could associate it with was sucking. If you really want to watch this movie read this and than watch the trailer and save a hour and a half of your life. I rate this movie as a 1.5 out of 5 stars. But take my advice no one should ever have to sit through this movie..... EVER. They should actually write in a clause in the Geneva Convention saying that forcing anyone to watch this is a crime against humanity.
Here is the trailer, like I said it just watch it it's way better than the movie and you can hear all of Ryan Gosling speaking lines in this two minute trailer.
This movie sucked to bad to rate cool little fun facts about it.
