Good movie. Not great movie.

more times than not people who say that Drive was "too slow" for them are simple-minded morons.

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.

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.

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

Was Drive so deep and thoughtful that having a highly-developed brain was a prerequisite to watch it?

I think people that thought it was slow just expected it to be an action movie and were disappointed.
