I had never heard of it until randomly browsing YouTube the other day and listened to a track from it, which was awesome, and then watched a clip that had me seriously intrigued. I've got it now, just haven't had a chance to watch it. I have looked up reviews and it seems like people either didn't like it because they went in with the wrong expectations or people seem to say it's one of the best/most underrated movies of the decade.

Anybody here see it? Thoughts, love it, hate it?

Love it.

But people seem to be split on it.

Fantastic, but I am a big fan of the exploitation genre.

Good movie. Definitely worth a watch. Ending was a bit blah from my perspective.

Yeah, I've watched reviews & read stuff and it seems like most people that didn't like it thought it was going to be a lot more action-heavy and didn't realize it was an indie film. TBH, I found out about it by listening to the song Real Hero by Electric Youth, gotta love an 80's synthrock song coming out in 2011, and I'm still not sure what genre it really falls into, I haven't wanted to spoil myself before watching it, but the clip I watched definitely had this romantic element to it and, what can I say, the little clip hooked me (I stopped watching it around 2:20 to not spoil anything), but that little romantic angle with that song got me wanting to see the movie big time. I've read vague things about a hammer & a bullet to the forehead and an elevator scene, but haven't read how they play out, but it's obviously either more than, or not just, a romantic movie.

Drive clip

That's the clip that got me interested in it.

But yeah, I'm definitely gonna check it out as soon as I can.

It's definitely more than just a romantic movie.

I saw this monday night for the second time. this is an awesome movie. i watched it with a buddy of mine, and he seemed to have thought it was dumb. mainly because ryan gosling's character is socially awkward and quiet for a majority of the movie.

I remember liking it when it came out but I have never rewatched it so I guess that says something.

fricking watch it. One of my favorites in recent memory.

I was completely sucked in after the title sequence scene with Nightcall. I won't link it and spoil it, just watch the damn movie.

You know, I thought I liked it until your post. The all-caps and 20 exclamation points convinced me.
