Refn's becoming the Malick of noir crime thrillers

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.

Yeah, I was just thinking that this sounds like an exaggerated version of Drive, which led to me trying to determine why I enjoyed Drive so much. Brooks and to a lesser extent Cranston saved that movie.

Movies aren't books. They are movies. But I know I can't change your mind about that.
