I haven't seen someone pull off that kind of quiet menace for a very long time. It reminded me of Steve McQueen or a young Eastwood or Bronson. Definitely a throw back style movie.Griffhttp://www.3guys1movie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-219108510988412397.post-68864417497823228352012-04-07T17:35:36.646+02:002012-04-07T17:35:36.646+02:00I don't know what stuck with me the most - or ...I don't know what stuck with me the most - or well, probably the three things I used as a title.

I don't even know why. I'm normally a pacifist, I don't like war and all that, but I like to explore and analyze the bad side everyone has inside himself... and I'm just a sucker for coolness and elegant action.<br />That's also why I hate a lot of mainstream American and Indian action movies, because the action is always so un-elegant and ugly.Mettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08094234448852441633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-219108510988412397.post-78081866716119456162012-04-07T12:38:22.003+02:002012-04-07T12:38:22.003+02:00It's funny to think that I had absolutely no i...It's funny to think that I had absolutely no idea what this "Gosling" everybody was talking about looked like.

The soundtrack, the mood, performance by Gosling all fantastic. <br />The extreme violence does keep you on the edge of your seat not knowing what will happen next, I just don't like watching violence so graphic and depicted so "cool"(and I hope it doesn't inspire anyone to buy a silver jacket with golden scorpion and imitate the brutality in the elevator scene in real life)<br />Drive reminded me of Scorsese’s classic Taxi Driver, the ambiguous antihero Travis fighting for justice, but his violent actions are not deemed correct by the rules of society.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-219108510988412397.post-10174496871884551282012-04-07T08:47:06.246+02:002012-04-07T08:47:06.246+02:00Oh I totally understand what you mean by being so ...Oh I totally understand what you mean by being so overwhelmed with a film that you can't write about it.
