Drive (I) (2011)
4/10
Overrated high school video project

Yes, I read the top reviews and their analytics and they come off more like random guesswork. Either way, even if the deconstruction prove to be true, it doesn't do the audience any favors.

This film is slow, very very slow. It has a 30 min plot stretched to 1 hr and 30 mins. And what is most disappointing is that though the title is called Drive and the film constantly boast of the driver's unmatched driving skills, we barely see any of it in the film. If this was meant to be a metaphorical artsy film, could they not have done it also with some driving action?

If you are expecting something like Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift, you will sorely be disappointed. The film plays on styles of 80s music and camera work. Gosling plays a robot, which is perhaps what got him the role for Blade Runner 2049.

A terrible film and a waste of my time.

4/10.
