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.

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.

I've said it's more style than substance. It's a simple story.

I wasn't implying that Drive is some cerebral film that only intellectuals are capable of understanding .. I was referring to the people who hate it because it lacked enough "action." Those are the simple-minded morons I speak of; people who can't get enjoyment out of anything in Hollywood that isn't formulaic and predictable.
