Overrated trash Cinema

Rating: 3/10 (27 March 2012)

This is my 2nd Attempt to write a review.. My first effort was canned by the powers that be. I finally got around to watching Drive a few weeks ago... I saw it for free, on DVD. I will not bore you with a long winded review as per some of the zealots who have professed their undying love for this movie / director.
My thoughts.... over hyped excrement (read Sh*t), not worthy of my $15 + to see this at a Cinema, or $2.50 to hire on DVD (I paid nothing and watched it at a friends house, I would have been disappointed if I had been duped into outlaying ANY money to watch this movie).
The Ultra Violence depicted throughout this move was particularly offensive, unnecessary and shows just how banal and immature REFN is.
(Spoiler Alert) The scene where Ryan kisses the leading lady for a good 20 seconds in the elevator whilst the hit-man looks on, then Ryan proceeds to stomp on said hit-man's head until it collapses... pathetic. BTW I am not adverse to depictions of Horror / Violence in cinema and I have seen more than my share of violence in real life, I work with many victims of crime, and I have seen things that would make some of you curl up into the foetal position and cry.
Some of the reviews I have read on here are laughable, the Authors trying to give any level of credence or kudos to REFN where he clearly does not deserve any.
I recently watched a video online of REFN being interviewed on UK Television. Host "the violence... its like a car crash" REFN "Violence is easy to work with... its like F*cking"
Absolutely Moronic... I wonder if he ever listens to himself when he speaks....
I see that maybe he will be directing a remake of Logans Run... please, whoever owns the rights... don't let him anywhere near it
