So I saw "Drive." OK, film. I was disappointed in that it was more plot than action. Similar to the "action films" of the 70s. Almost all the action scenes are in the trailer.
After a nice opening, about the first third of the movie was plot development. I kept waiting for something to happen (I know I'm losing the movie when I start looking at my watch in the dark). Now the action scenes were pretty well directed when they occurred. And it does get a bit violent a few times.
I also liked Albert Brooks and Ron Perlman. They play great bad guys. I'm not a fan of Ryan Gosling, and as far as I was concerned his portrayal of a laconic, loner hero was lacking the star power of a Steve McQueen, et. al.
All in all, a good story, but not quite what I was looking for.
