drive, a movie that is advertised as being on everywhere yet no cinemas near me are showing it, i see it in the city where it screens to a small handful on a small screen. this is a beautifully filmed movie, fabulous acting meditative in parts and excellent script that must have been about three pages long as most of the communication is non verbal, exquisitely invoking steve mcqueen and the car films of the seventies, a lesson in noir yet it has a violence that is unnecessary and shockingly brutal. 
i liked the film but thought it had been vastly over rated, there were some real good moments but the ending was just crazy and could have been so much better.
