How to cheat IMDb scores ... ?

Rating: 1/10 (10 October 2011)

I don't have the answer to my own question. See, I'm ripping you off. Get used to it if you decide to go see this movie based on IMDb's rating...
For starters, I first used IMDb over 10 years ago and this, is my first review. Why review this movie? Because I have to tell you There is absolutely no way this movies deserves a 8.4 rating. It's a 6/10 AT BEST; and what you are witnessing here is a giant SCAM, here's why:

Directing. It's OK. The visuals are good (6/10), the first car chase is pretty good too and the lift kiss scene is well thought. That's about it, everything else in this movie is sub standard or average at best.

Scenario. My criticism will be as creative as the scenario itself: it's uninspired, boring and anyone could have written it. And I really mean it.

Empty dialog. It's not like the dialog is poor or badly written, the problem lies in the absence of any dialog ! 30 seconds of blank in just about every scene, it's so bad and boring to the point that I don't even care if the character is dead at the end, I'm just craving for the credits. What an epic fail of a movie ending. It might be the worst movie ending I've EVER seen.

Ending. See above.

Acting. Ryan's usually great acting doesn't show in this movie at all. It might be contagious as it's the case with most actors here except maybe Ron Perlman who's OK as usual (6/10 again). As much as I understand the novelty behind the toy boy play-Mobil acting, it really doesn't work here. Novelty isn't always good, it certainly isn't here. Ryan's character looks like some quarterback smart ass that's still of the age where pretending to look cool wearing a tight jacket and being a man of few words is enough to BE cool. Doesn't make the cut here Ryan, maybe it'd have worked if I was 12 who knows. It's so bad, sometimes I caught myself regretting the main character doesn't get punched in the face more often, make him swallow the ridiculous Stallone-stolen toothpick.

Paperthin characters background. "He came to my shop 6 years ago out of nowhere", didn't think of something else mister writer ? No background for the main character with such a long introduction ? seriously, how can you do this to your audience ?

Chemistry. No chemistry at all between the two lovers; is there love, sexual attraction or anything at all ? Ex con inviting his wife's lover to the diner table; seriously ? The love story is just as believable as the IMDb score really...

Trailer / Value for Money. OK maybe the movie doesn't deserve being sued about that (yeah, it's being sued). But what a misleading trailer ! Call your film "Drive", show nice cars, talk about driving and have ONLY ONE DECENT CAR CHASE ?

I could go on and on for hours, but I think I covered most things so let me make a positive conclusion: most of the decent things happen in the first 5 minutes, so you can walk away then !! how's that ?
As to how the movie got that rating, I don't know. Maybe 1,000 guys paid to create / rate / delete IMDb accounts do...
