I personally love Drive and I can't find anything that disappoints me with this movie. And not to forget the acting, which is also great and absolutely fits the film. Oscar nominations for cinematography, production design, score, original song and maybe also editing would have been just. But on the other hand the movie isn't specialized on character sketches or telling long rigmaroles, it only shows you what is absolutely necessary. It makes you think about beguilement and the craziness of people and that gets exhibited radically explicit.

Drive captivates you ab initio and doesn't even stop after the movie is finished. These moments when he stares into blankness are stunning, just because of the beautiful cinematography and the awesome soundtrack (this is one of the best movie scores of all time, for what it's worth). This guy seems abstracted, somewhat even retarded, but Ryan Gosling plays him condignly human. It's not about a serial killer, it's about a mysterious man who gets involved into a crime that makes him to a (very brutal) serial killer. These moments when he stares A perfect motion picture.
