This movie starts out with a rather intering driving sequence where Gosling's character is the getaway driver for a heist; however, the film deteriorates from there. It becomes rather tedious and lacking in both dialogue and action. I did not even finish watching this all to boring "thriller".

If you like to be entertained in the way where you see everything clearly, then you won't like this. If you enjoy figuring out how the character is feeling, (non verbal) and like analyzing, then you will love this. I won't say it was one of Gosling's better movies, but his acting keeps me interested in this movie. It was nice to see the young lady from "An Education" and "Gatsby" playing a mother-role as well.

Drive is a great neo-noir cult film about the violent underpinnings of L.A. and the movie business. It's a film that's all about surface, and the reality of how people want to appear to others vs how they really are- you'll either love it or hate it.

Dynamic action and great music. You stay alert the whole movie.

Bubba louie said it all. I agree with every word. I watched about 20 minutes of mind-numbing nothingness and switched to Four Weddings and a Funeral, for fun, for relief, for pure joy..

Some of the acting is awful but its forgiven.

Don't mess with the mob!

Call me crazy but I really liked this movie. A completely different role for Ryan Gosling to play as a tough, sadistic, man of few words. Loved that scene where he smashed the guy's head in with his boot until there was nothing left of the scull but small fragments – watch this part in slow-mo!!!!!!!!!!!! Ryan I have a new found respect for you, man. Excellent role, excellent movie...... +++++++++++For those of you that still don't get it: Silence can be a lot more deadly then a bunch of senseless dialogue and F-bombs.++++++++++

Unlike a typical Tarantino film where its characters literally talk you to death, Drive is a film whose characters silence you to death. I'm not kidding!_____ The complete absence of normal, everyday dialogue that should've taken place between its characters was so noticeably missing from the story that, as a result, it began to give me a serious case of brain-freeze. Drive took the meaning of being mind-numbingly dull to a whole new level of dreariness._____ In particular it was that stunned goose-on-the-loose, Ryan Gosling, whose endless lapses into braindead silence were, beyond belief, the most mind-boggling of all. Gosling is one dead-charisma actor who puts the likes of Vin Diesel to absolute shame when it comes to projecting sheer hollowness._____ In my opinion, Drive never once came to life. Its unavoidable violence and over-the-top gore (that came too late in the show) couldn't save it. And its use of haunting soundtrack music and ariel views of LA at night only served as a distraction to the fact that Drive was one big bore._____ This film also lost itself some major points by its use of blatant product placement while the Gosling character went shopping at the Big 6 Market._____ Drive's ending was a total empty-headed cop-out. It left the viewer suspended (along with the main character) in a void of pure nothingness.
