a lot of directors can have four bad movies and still make good ones
that is like saying tim burton can't make a good movie because you have seen sleepy hollow, alice in wonderland, charlie and the chocolate factory, and planet of the apes
man, that elevator scene. dreamy in all the right ways.
Moneyball was good, but Drive is perfectly tailored to make me appreciate film-making, and also make me want to cry. it's not often that a film appeals to me as craft but also evokes a strong emotional response, and i always have to sit with it awhile before a second viewing, if i ever watch it again. i liked it, but i also feel like i need to see it again to clarify why -- i suspect a good part of it was the pacing, which was both unhurried but relentless, and the various character moments that let me see the actors living their character. i'd like to see a movie that just expanded on that opening sequence too, though; love me some badass, clever driving.
the soundtrack was absolutely baller. I can safely say that I am in love with Refn as a director, even though people seem confused when I say I love Bronson. But I really do, and even Valhalla Rising--the first half of that movie was spectacular, and even though I thought it got a little too obtuse towards the end, it was still really solid, well-acted and well-directed.
Yup this was good. Real good. Directed well, acted well, shot well and the lighting was used to such amazing effects.
The way they changed lighting a couple times through one single scene or shot was so great. I wish it was playing in a close theater so I could go see it again tonight.

The second chase was god-damn terrible. A Chrysler 300 vs a 5.0 Mustang? Please. The Mustang should have just walked away from the 300. Plus high-speed reverse driving.
But even then, the Mustang has 600-800 pounds on the 300C. They could have picked a better chase vehicle....like a BMW or a Merc. They were gangsters after all.

We also could assume that they set up nice suped up cars like Driver does. And take into account the fact that he was driving on a dangerous road on a rather congested highway for a good section of it. But I do understand your complaint.
Oh, I'm with you on that. Every time I go to my dealership to get some work done, I have to make sure I don't test drive one of the 5.0s, lol. I just know I'll trade in my 07 on something.
Love this movie. If I ever see anyone wearing that jacket, they're getting teased, because there is no fucking way anyone not named Ryan Gosling is making that look good.
Fuck off and die.

I thought the cinematography in this movie was amazing.
I was not a huge fan of how constant the soundtrack was, and the aesthetic it brought. Though I do still appreciate it a bit.
Also this movie had a lot of unexpected gruesomeness. Out of nowhere
