Drive. I LOVR the movie, and LOVE the soundtrack, but it's a run of the mill movie.

    Run of the mill?? The pacing of Drive alone sets it apart. Lots of moments of calm, violence on the extreme side but skillfully kept to very short instances to drive home the impact but not overly linger on any of it to the point of gratuity.

    I guess this could all be counted as style, but there feels like substance behind it.
