Went to see Drive last night. Chose it over Killer Elite on the basis of RT. What a mistake. Drive was a horrible movie. You would think a movie called Drive, which is the story about a getaway driver, would have some of the greatest car chases and stunts in it. You'd be wrong. There was actually very little of that. And an incongruous heaping helping of gratuitous gory violence. There was a scene that took place in the dressing room of a strip club for no other reason than for the camera to linger on several pair of titties. Which is fine, but the way it was presented was so transparent. There were a few bright spots, I'd never seen Albert Brooks play a homicidal gangster before. Ron Perlman was Ron Perlman. Bryan Cranston was pretty good in this movie. But overall, this movie was slow paced, boring, cliched, and over the top violent in some spots. A bad choice on my part. Shoulda just went to Moneball.
