Or is he the new Josh Hartnett? Is Carey Mulligan the new Mia Farrow? She seems miscast since in the trivia notes it says the character was originally Hispanic. There are no sex scenes in Drive but there are plenty of scenes of violence. Plus a few car chases. The pacing is deliberately slow & moody. This is a movie that knows it's a movie. It doesn't pretend to be anything else. The dialogue is minimal. The direction is minimalist. The music is subliminal. The night photography is washed out & watered down. This is not the kind of movie you might enjoy. It is the kind of movie which will be showed in film schools for future auteurs. A study in neo-noir.
