Well, I finally saw it...4 months after everyone else. I hate to report that I did not find it to be nearly the masterpiece others here did. Refn has some interesting things happening, Gosling being only one of them. For example, the opening scene with the Impala car chase (which wasn't really a chase like you'd expect) that then cuts to The Driver at his day job is awesome.
However, I actually found a lot of it to be kind of tedious, the film version of a Chuck Palahniuk novel or something. I wanted to like Drive for the whole "arthouse genre film" thing it is supposed to have going on, but I just can't.
I'll go back and read everyone's posts later tonight. Maybe I'll feel differently then.
