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.


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.

Man... if they did that in my city the megaphone and quite probably the lecturn would have been gone in 60 seconds.

I will always pick Bullitt as certain scenes, such as when you see Bullit come over the hill behind the Dodge, are filmed as you see it. The shot was of the actual rearview mirror, in the actual car, with the actual driver in the shot, and the Mustang perfectly framed. No cut and paste, no camera tricks. It's the pure truth of it. Steve McQueen drives the Mustang except for the most risky of the stunts, while Hickman is driving the Charger. It's the closest to true I've seen.

I discount the Gone in 60 Seconds original movie as you've never heard of the guy and actually driving like that out in general public is just stupid.

Awe beaten to the "Gone in 60 seconds" ref... Yeah the good ole original movie. Little Trivia about the film... the guy who funded the project also directed and starred in the picture! Making sure he used his favorite car the mustang mach 1... of course he was no stunt driver and actually wrecked the car in the freeway off ramp scene causeing extensive damage and almost totaling the car. I miss the old days of crazy and eccentric film making.
