drive as far away from this movie as you can

Rating: 1/10 (5 October 2011)

What a f##king piece of garbage. Dismally slow and boring for the first half of the movie and dark & gory for the second half. I walked out of the movie feeling like someone had raped my mind and stolen a bit of my life. I read another users review that this was a great mix of art house and Hollywood action and is something to be celebrated. Knowing that a movie this boring and tasteless is being celebrated is truly a sad thing.
The driving scenes were a let down. There were really only two and well...there was nothing new there. Yawn.
How am I supposed to think that this guy is a hero because he wants to protect some silly waitress that got herself involved with a low life thug early in her life and stays with that thug? How many times am I supposed to be able to watch Ryan Gosling stare before feeling like someone has dropped a sedative in my drink? The gory killing scenes were a little too late ... at this point I just didn't care....
Waste of time. Shame on you fellow Americans for celebrating such a worthless piece of sh*T!
