Why is this considered good neo-noir operator?
Can get past the Driver having no personality as ode to Le Samurai and Man With No Name Trilogy
Only two quick chase scenes (despite being well done)
Woman of Interest has no personality
Ron Pearlmanwas this mafiaso all along and the main villain without a hintSimply returning the money is not an option.
Why did Driverwear the mask? Made no sense
Albert Brooks wasthis psycho all along

Refn = nearly all style and very little substance
Bronson would have been nearly impossible for a director to fuck up, given the fascinating subject matter. And I suppose Valhalla Rising was a good little art film.
The documentary that he made... about himself... was pretty revealing of his vapid character.

Refn is a hack

Fuck off, plebs. The Pusher trilogy is fantastic.

He does have a character though

Why does it have to make sense? It works as a film

Gosling's character is somewhat hollow and boring.
Most of us on this Yanomami sketching stone can identify with that, and the cool music and cinematography makes us feel better about ourselves.

Pfff... If anything, it makes me wanna kill myself because I'm reminded of the fact that I'll never be cool or attractive.

Drive is a great movie but most of that credit goes to Gosling pitching the script on accident and probably the book it was based on. Most of Refn's stuff is really hackish shit.
