Drive is literally a string of Grand Theft Auto:Vice City missions strung end to end, minus cheat codes to spawn a tank to roll around in. Nothing - absolutely nothing - in this film requires it to be set any later than 1985. A smartphone here or there could easily be replaced by an emory board and the movie could be shot 35 years ago. Which I suppose is the point. A friend described it as "deliberately 80s" and I have no argument with that. It's slow and plodding and unbelievably straightforward - as a reviewer further up posted, 'a character says they'll do something, and indeed they do.' Miles better than anything else out there, but honestly it isn't tense because of any choice to make it so, it's tense because audiences are used to quick-cuts, shakycam and spastic music-video editing, and simply deciding to cut things with slightly-longer takes makes people anxious to get to the next shot. 3.5/5
