Seriously?!

Rating: 1/10 (7 February 2012)

i don't know if people saw the same movie i did, but seriously i felt offended by this pretentious piece of BS, because in my opinion, to enjoy a movie you have to feel it or at least connect with the main character, and i'm not saying that i need all the Hollywood sfx or the Michael bay action movie, but come on! gosling can do better than this, i understand that his character is supposed to be "the 80s style few words bad ass" but instead he looks retarded. and the "love story" is ridiculous, there's not even a good reason for the driver to sacrifice for the girl, because she loves her ex-convict loser husband and so the kid and they don't even care about him, then a couple minutes later he's about become a racer, then everything goes wrong and for no reason, so the "plot" is nothing but laughable and confusing,even when the art-house movies are complex but because they have a deep history and characters but that kind of stuff doesn't fit in Drive, because there's nothing to think about, is just a psychopath/stunt man/getaway driver who falls in love with a random girl and helps her husband but everything goes wrong so now he is in trouble, that's it .
i enjoy the "art-house" style movies, and despite the cool cinematography of this film, this is just a pretentious movie and tries very hard to be considered cool or artsy, although fails to deliver action or even the artsy look the director pretends to give, so in my opinion it's just a "wanna be movie".
in my opinion is a generic pretentious film, easily forgettable, without a plot, quotes or an icon to be remembered. and i hate it even more because of the hype and unrealistic rates at IMDb.
like i said the camera shots, photography and music are good though, but it doesn't fill the empty space for a good story.
in just one word: OVERRATED
