Boo. You know what would have made this movie great? Car chases. 1:38 is about right to show you nearly all it had to offer. There's a good one at the very beginning and this one near the end. The entire film is terribly paced. Really over the top violence kicks in way too late, to the point where folks in the theater I saw it in were laughing.

You want good car chases (an not a bad film overall), rent "Ronin."

Oh, and while I'm at it, the new "Gone in 60 seconds" also had crap car chases. The movie consisted of characters looking at cars, admiring them, then cutting to the scene after they stole them. Lame.

Sorry, a pet peeve.

I love the way an engine sounds.

yeah, you should sue them.

I don't really think the car chases were the point of Drive. FWIW, I thought it was a really good movie.

You're right about Ronin, though. Best car chase ever committed to film. Although "Bullitt" is a close second, mainly because Steve McQueen is god.

Ronin had excellent car chases. Drive was a much better film.

I just wanted to know what people's views were. I don't give a shit about car chases unless I'm invested in the plotline or the character. In this I was both so it was way more tense and compelling than most others, for me
