re: Refn's "Only God Forgives" Is Apparently Terrible

Refn's becoming the Malick of noir crime thrillers. Visually incredible, but only a limited number of people "get it." Fwiw...I've seen all of Refn's movies except for Pusher II and III, the only one I liked was Drive (loved it), and even though Hardy's performance in Bronson was amazing, I couldn't wait for the movie to end. That's generally how I feel about all Refn flicks.
What's weird is I still want to see Only God Forgives.

Just told someone at this work. It's really a perfect comparison

same. Valhalla Rising was so boring, yet im still somewhat intrigued by it, and definitely hesitate to call it a bad film.
seems like a director who's mistakes are at least interesting. maybe he shouldnt write his own stuff anymore though.

The movie started off so great. I thought this was going to be an amazing movie......But it was just alright.
Chopper was better imo.

totally stealing this line. I don't like Malick either. Both completely fail as storytellers. They prefer imagery over a coherent narrative. This sounds like Drive without the great performance from Albert Brooks.
