The attraction wasn't developed or made sense. I felt NO feeling at all toward Gosling's character. And like Ivy League said, it seemed like the silences were overplayed. The cinematography was not good enough to make up for lack of a bad script and equally bad character development.
Too me, liking this film seems like an attempt at trying to understand bullshit. I swear the same dude who wrote this screenplay, wrote the screenplay for Skyline.

@ all this hype over it. Fucking artsy ass experiment that is not worth the time invested. Had its impactful moments, had a couple realistic outcomes that also satisfied... but the rest of it was an utterly underwhelming experience.
Script? Weeeeak. Sure, Gosling can be the strong silent type... and he half pulls it off. Too bad he doesn't say much of anything stirring when he DOES speak, which is how you would hope Refn had the wisdom to play it. Not only does he make Gosling 3/4ths mute, he makes everyone else brood or mope or sulk or scowl without much else to say that isn't directly obvious anyways. These characters fought valiantly in losing the fight to break out of their one-dimensional archetypes.

yeah. and DEFINITELY NOT ENOUGH EXCITING DRIVING SCENES.
there isn't more than 3 hi-speed scenes, and the first one isn't even that intense, because it's actually so realistic.
like, wtf.
I blame the director, not Gosling. He's gonna slay in the Ides of March, with Clooney helming it.
'Drive' is already my biggest disappointment of the year...
ESPECIALLY CAUSE OF THE CHRISTINA
