Watch the trailer, and save yourself a few hours

Rating: 4/10 (21 September 2011)

I hadn't seen the trailer before I saw Drive last night, but now that I have I can save any of you considering watching this film (presumably based on the ridiculously overblown hype and frankly mystifying praise) a lot of time. Watch the trailer. You will then have seen all Ryan Gosling's dialogue and facial expressions, all the car chases, the admittedly pretty aerial night shots of the city, the only "film stunt" and a pretty good summary of the plot.
Do not expect anything more, except, perhaps, a little bonus violence. And uncountable minutes of static faces including an outrageous one near the end which could actually have been a scan of a still.
