Seriously, how awesome is this?? I'll answer that: CRAZY AWESOME. Refn is very quickly establishing himself as one of the greats.

Not arguing the awesome... but what exactly made that red band worthy?

The scene where the guy gets stabbed in both hands?

The spiritual sequel to Drive? So yet another dull film where Ryan Gosling displays little to no emotion (or personality) and there are awkwardly long shots of people looking at each other without saying anything?

Yay.

But I'm sure the soundtrack will be cool!

Drive is one of the greats! Pusher films were pretty good too. Me hopeful man.

You, sir, have terrible taste. I will rebut with a review from the late, great Roger Ebert.

I don't know what his taste in movies is like, but on Drive I completely agree. Like completely. He nailed what the movie is. It felt fucking idiotic to have all those shots of people just staring at each other instead of saying the script (that they cut so people could stare at each other and be arty.) Yeah the soundtrack was great and there were some fantastic moments, but moments don't make a movie for me.

Something negative has been said of a production including Carey Mulligan. I will have to kill you all now.

I don't want to, but it's required.

Why does Ryan Gosling have a job?

Is this going to have an equally pointless plot with lots of style and not much substance?

Shots of people staring at each other....like maybe these from one of the greatest movies of all time?

I watched drive last night for the first time.

Imagine a decent movie about the mafia, a guy who screws up and him trying to make good for hsi wife and kids. Theres all sorts of interesting charaters, a garage operator who got in trouble with the mafia in the 80s, and now runs a stunt car company, a jewish ganster who wants to be italian. Sounds good... interesting. Well they took that movie, and for some reason slapped in an additional bad guy, cept hes mute, has no expression, and then kills all the actual characters that were interesting.... oh wait, no... hes the good guy... apparently...

Its as if at the last minute they had an executive come in and say, what this movie needs is a mute psycopath... what could go wrong.
