It's a very simple movie.

The action scenes are incredible.

I was being ironic.

I think it's a brilliant movie, but I'm going to have to agree.

The only thing I remember about Drive is that I don't really remember anything about it.

Not even the chase scene?

Nope.

Negatives first:
The non-linear storyline is confusing.
There's next to no historical background, meaning you'll be confused if you don't already know the story of the evacuation.
Kenneth Branagh has seen better days.

That said, this is a movie that needs to be seen in theatre. You know the old cliché about non-stop action? It's true to the letter for Dunkirk. There is no time to breathe. You are there—on the beaches, on the landing grounds and in the streets, on sea, land and air.

Loved Dunkirk. I was excited and engrossed from the first minute till the last. And if I was confused by anything it was because of the nature of the dialogue, the number of characters who popped in and out of the movie at random, and the fact that just about everyone in the movie had the same brown hair so I often had no idea who was who. But that was a pretty great aspect of the movie afaic since it really made each soldier feel like one in a sea of faceless cogs where it didn't matter which one was which.

Trying to figure out when the plane and boat scenes were going on was kinda sketchy though, but it never bothered me.

Neon Demon is hot garbage with a shiny bow.

Not a fan.

Plus everyone in Drive acted in that emotionally deadened, muted way which totally kills any sense of believeability in the characters. That scene where Carey Mulligan witnesses a horrific act in the elevator, and then just walks out like it wasn't anything... I wanna say that's one of the worst acted scenes in film history, but I know that would be an exaggeration. But it was bad, and it was illustrative of a huge problem I have with this useless specimen of a director.

Probably the most overrated movie of the last 20 years.

I liked Drive a lot but I hated Valhalla Rising so I can relate to your feelings about Refn.

I liked Drive and loved Bronson, but I haven't felt compelled to watch the others yet. I've heard that Valhalla Rising was highly disappointing and devoid of any real depth.
