And I would say more often than not people talking about how great Drive was are simple minded people trying to appear deeper than they are, because they are so terrified of not "getting" it.
Yep.

There's nothing I hate more than saying people don't like a movie because they are too stupid to understand it. I'm smart enough to understand it. It just makes no narrative sense whatsoever and the climax is entirely arbitrary, as he and his girlfriend are going to get hacked up into little pieces five minutes after the credits roll. The plotting isn't slow, it's lazy and riddled with wild inconsistancies.
Refresh my memory, but why would she get killed? I just assumed he left because he thought it was the best way to protect her.

Beautifully shot. Terribly written. Yes, I know about the analogy.

Her husband (or was it boyfriend?) was part of the heist which stole the money. The bodies of the mob enforcers are in her elevator. The mob is short one million bucks and its employees in a murder that is sure to be all over the evening news. It won't take them long to put two and two together and pay her a visit. When she can't come up with the cash, they will kill her and set out on killing Ryan Gosling. He only left a trail of dead bodies for them to follow.
