Drive (New Film)
Discussion
Saw it tonight and I can say it's an excellent film that lives up to the rave reviews.
Don't go into it expecting lots of car chases, that's not what it's about, but there are a few to keep the action flowing.
Its very graphic too, when it needs to be.
80's style synth soundtrack, gorgeous visuals and camera work, well worth a watch.

It started off good, the car noises sounded great. I didn't know what to expect of it (I don't like to read about films before I see them) but it was more violent than my friend expected and would have liked it to been more along the lines of the intro. The soundtrack's great (just listening to some of it now.) I don't know if I thought it was great but it was definitely entertaining.
Some people did walk out of the cinema at the end saying it was crap, but being a group of lads I'm guessing they were expecting something akin to Fast & Furious.
If anyone has seen I Come With The Rain, they will know that the trailer makes it out to be some tense thriller, but the reality is it's a slower, more 'arty' film. It has very similar camera work, scripting and lighting to Drive.

The trailer doesn't instil me with confidence. The flipping a mustang round to go in reverse just seems stupid.
The film isn't like that in the slightest.If you don't want to go because you think it looks like a stupid film from the trailer then I can assure you it isn't one and it would be a shame not to see it based on that decision.
I've just seen it and have to say it was OK but not one of the best, not even close. But each to their own.
By the end of it I felt that whilst a lot had happened... not a lot had happened... if that makes sense, I didn't find it particularly involving at all. Maybe it's me, I'll watch it again in a different mood sometime and see.

On balance a very good film.
Its not an action flick so don't expect something like The Transporter. But it grips you even when nothing is happening on screen.
For those of you that have seen the film, Spotify/iTunes/download these tracks and wait for the goosebumps!
