So, I've never seen Drive before, but I have heard about it a lot. So alright, I got the monthly text message for a free rental code from Red Box yesterday. There was another movie I wanted to check out, so I reserved that movie online, went out to Walmart, and then used my free rental code to pick up Drive while I was there getting my reserved movie. Watching it right now, about 20 minutes in.

Ohhhhh....that answers everything.

I hope you aren't disappointed Smooth. It's such a great experience in my opinion.

On Drive, I still don't really understand:

Spoiler: show

Why he left the money behind. Did he contact the girl and tell her to get it for herself and son?

So we're basically assuming he's going to drive off into the desert and bleed out?

That's basically what I thought.

He definitely didn't give the money to the woman and the boy because the mob would link that to them. Only way to prevent that from happening was to leave the money with the dead dude.

That's what makes the movie great. Lots of ways to interpret the ending.

So you guys could be right, he very well could have been dying and just driving off into the sunset at the end there, though he didn't quite seem like he was in the process of dying at the very last scene. He almost looked like he was just driving away from the city.

As mors said, he obviously didn't give the money to the woman because otherwise they would be in danger and it would only be a matter of time before the mob got to them. So he left it with the dead guy, and very well could have just driven off and left his old life behind. It would have been the safest way for everyone involved. If he stays around, her and the kid could still end up in danger if the mob keeps trying to get to him, so he drives off and leaves town and leaves everything behind him for an unknown future.

Definitely a good movie though. If it didn't have to be back by 9pm tonight, I'd give it another watch later tonight or tomorrow. I'll definitely have to look at possibly buying it sometime, as it was a good movie.

There's a book sequel to Drive called Driven... so he's probably not dead/dying

BTW, I didn't enjoy Drive personally... probably had too high of expectations or something.

whats the 3rd movie or book going to be?

I Drove.....LOL

It may not be a trilogy like your Twilight books.

Drive just hit me at the perfect time and the way the relationship between him and the girl and kid works is just SO well done. I don't know, it just hits me right in all the right places. The elevator scene is SO god damn intense, it's amazing.

:D

My reason is my really low expectations and the fact it was nothing like I thought it was going to be. I went knowing nothing about it. I figured it was just some action, Michael Bay, type film that would kill a few hours. ...mindless entertainment. Needless to say its nothing like that. Not to sound cheesy but the way the driver loved the women and the kid was incredible. You don't see that in movies. He loved them so much that all he cared about was their safety and not whether he could be with them.

:+1:

Exactly and the chemistry between the actors was SO good. Felt very real.

Also, I went into the movie knowing absolutely NOTHING about it. I LOVE watching movies knowing nothing about them when it starts. Makes the movie going experience that much better.

This makes me think of rustee's golf season :D
