Drive - Some

Rating: Null/10 (19 September 2011)

First, I'd like to say that any review over 2 regarding this movie must be receiving compensation in some way because this was bar-none the worst movie of the year and then some.
The previews lure in viewers with a promise of action and thrills. This film was very far from anything of the likes. Nothing could be more slow except maybe watching molasses travel up hill on a cold day.
The actors seemed as though they were constantly waiting for a cue to say their lines. One would speak, then a few moments pass, then a reply from the other. This was the norm throughout the film.
Our main actor has absolutely no emotion what-so-ever and very little dialogue. The others weren't much different.
There are those here who believe this film is intended to be a retro film compared to those of the 80's. It's nothing of the sort. The only thing retro here was the main actor's choice in cars. I'm not sure what the intention of this film is. It appeared to me to be the work of an over indulged amateur.
Then there's the premise that this film is about driving. There are maybe 5 scenes that actually involve driving and those are quite lack-luster to say the least.
Do yourself a favor, save your cash at the box office or even with DVD. Stay away from this film.
If I hadn't been with others, I would have walked out on this stinker within the first 20 minutes. Out of the 5 people I saw the film with, not one of us enjoyed it. The consensus was noticeably the same among the 20 or so other people sitting in the theater with us.
