Weekend Movie Review - Drive

Me and Roger Ebert are no longer friends. He gave this movie a 100 on Metacritic. Since we've been in sync lately, I trusted him. When I was leaving the theatre, a woman was asking everyone how they liked the movie. To my utter shock, all the men said they liked it. I thought, Really??? Did we see the same movie. 'Cuz sure, there was lots of blood and stuff, but during the interminable scenes between the stabbing and shooting, there were long, insufferable stretched of staring. Yes, that's right. No dialougue, just longing looks, questioning looks, stupid looks, bored looks, that just lingered to the point that I wanted to bang my head against the seat just for something interesting to do. And then the ending - utterly, horridly stupid. So that was my one word answer to the woman - it was the stupidest movie I've seen in a very long time. I can't beleive I was duped into paying money to see this. And I never realized there were so many senitive men out there who enjoy hours of longing looks broken up by much too infrequent bursts of grisly gunbattles. My rating - 2 1/2 out of five stars.
