started off nicely and somewhat fresh, ended up pretentious and melodramatc. gosling doesnt fit whatsoever.

I did not like that nobody gave us a clue about what was the past of the main character. There wasn't even the tiniest hint what is his motivation. But all in all I pretty much liked the rest.

Too bloody at times for my taste. In general, a thrilling yet sensitive story ending with the question "Is that jacket with the scorpion on it important at all?"

2- avoid at all costs, bad :: Seriously overrated, with a couple overly violent scenes that do not redeem the film. Apparently, a blank character lets some people insert whatever desirable thing they want into it. Not me. (The intro scene is great, however.)

Don't know what to say.. can't understand why/how people are rating it so high. Although it was well shot and the acting was good - although felt a bit forced to be minimalistic - I didn't like all of it. I didn't like the fonts, some of the music and a number of small other things. Overrated for me at this point of time.

Drive represents some hyper stylized mix of intolerable violence, kindhearted scenes and disclosed warmth. The film succeeds in avoiding muss genre cliches and lapses which transforms it into one of the most fresh and delightful feast for an eye this year.

I love Gosling, but casting him for this role is a school example in casting fails. Goslings biggest assets as an actor are his smile, his loverable boyish charm and the intelligens that shines through when he talks. To cast him as a silent never smiling macho stunt driver is like taking the cast of The Expendables and having them perform Macbeth! Brooks, Pearlman and Cranston do however make this car wreck of a movie a little better. Like crashing your car into the pool at the Playboy Mansion.

Abit too siilent for me. The characters weren't devepoed at all. The music compensates for the silence, but the plot ain't that unique to comepnsate for the characters aswell.

I didn't really have an idea what to expect when I started watching. It starts slowly and quite innocent. Followed by really brutally violent parts which have so much more impact because the movie is very quiet throughout. That plus the beautiful visuals and great acting make Drive a truly strong film. Overall it extremely atmospheric - maybe that's why I find it hard to describe what I liked about it.

Extremely forgetful concept, boring, under developed characters, shitty teal and orange overload (almost every scene...Transformers anyone?), horrible (!!) soundtrack. I almost fell asleep cause nothing really outstanding happened. Cause I'm a human beinggggg

What a disappointment. After all the positive buzz and high scores here I didn't expect a bland crime-revenge movie that is all style but no substance. The characters are almost non-existent, the villains are horribly cartoony. I didn't really find anything original, and at no single point in the film was I emotionally involved in what was happening. Also, teal & orange overload. An 80's vibe does not magically turn a standard film into an amazing one, so I don't know what others saw in this.

Awesome in spite of itself. It's maybe one of my favorite movies that is terribly directed. I absolutely hated some of the choices that Nicolas Winding Refn made. He's a lunatic as far as I'm concerned. The music choices especially drove me nuts. Despite that, the movie is very cool. Some moments really stand out and Gosling's character is very interesting. I also enjoyed the writing, even though the second half barely makes sense plot-wise. I like it and I have no idea why.

Trying way too hard. Points for the amazing opening scene and for Bryan Cranston.

Could easily be a film that's been sat on a shelf for 30 years, bar a couple of modern cars. Very measured pacing which makes the moments of extreme violence all the more pronounced. Great performances by all, though Carey isn't given much to do really. Good stuff.

Extremely well made but it didn't really resonate with me.

Boring as f*ck. After one hour I'm still waiting for it to begin.. Not impressed by action scenes, I couldn't care less.

Excellent performances and high tension and just a little too much self-congratulation throughout for bucking stereotypes.

'Drive' is ridiculously cool and overly stylised. Gosling does a fantastic job playing a part where saying so little says so much and the chemistry between him and Mulligan seems to leak out of the screen. There's perhaps not as much action as you might have hoped for, but it leaves the pacing feeling just right.

Excellent direction and acting and I loved the overall retro feel, but I was in a mood for something completely different when I turned it on.

Probably the best movie of 2011, really tasteful and well done.

Self-conscious attempt to remake a Jean-Paul Belmondo gangster film without Jean-Paul Belmondo. Although packed with style, through an inexplicable 80s filter, and featuring some tension-filled scenes, I found it overall to be hollow and exploitive. I hope that someday, as a culture, we can all look back on cheap, bloody, amoral storytelling like this and be embarrassed. Surely, Perlman and Brooks already are.

Ryan Gosling is very good in the intense lead role. There are several other good supporting performances. It is nice to see Albert Brooks in a different type of role. I definitely recommend this interesting film.

Some awesome action followed by nothing. A up and down movie. But Ryan Gosling plays a great crazy person.

Ryan Gosling had a crazy stare through out the movie
