Drive was probably one of the best movies I've seen in quite some time. Saw it in the theater on the day it came out. Beautifully shot, wonderfully written, and great acting.

It's a movie that requires you to 1) pay attention and to 2) have patience. The writer and director asks a lot from the audience. A lot of what's going on goes unsaid. So watching it in a movie theater is ideal.

Of course when a person (not you CandyFlip) downloads the DVDSCRNR (then simultaneously cry about the theft of porn) and watches it from their 20" television while simultaneosly on their laptop trolling Facebook - your mileage may vary.
The cinematography was amazing. The soundtrack was amazing. It reminded me of so many things from classics like Vanishing Point, Miami Vice.. and the main character was like Burt Reynolds and Clint Eastwood hybrid.

I admit the lovey dovey scenes had me a little worried in the beginning but I really, really liked this movie.
