Boring characters but a fairly gripping story

Rating: 8/10 (7 December 2019)

I was advised to watch this film by my friend who's movie taste I trust most. Maybe it was having such high expectations based off of his opinion, but Drive just didn't pack that oomph that is in any great thriller. It had brutal violence but to no plot progression. The brutality felt like it was just for the sake of realism and brutality, which is fair, but I would love for it to feel more reasonable for the characters. Drive doesn't have a convoluted enough plot or clever enough writing to sit amongst the kings of thrillers.
