Thanks Feddy for the trailer.In the closing ceremony of Cannes, Nicolas Winding Refn won best director & thanked the jury for picking out a 'cinematic film' & recite an anecdote about contacting Gaspar Noe for Head Smashing technique. That got me hooked instantly. Wanted to check it out for Ryan Gosling (about whom I've written elsewhere, a contemporary 'acting great' in the making) too. NWR's Pusher/Bronson aren't 'great films', they're flawed but it shows great promise of vision & control. A 'director' is making it, not merely 'illustrating words'. The sense of control in a motley of tones in Pusher trilogy and to bring out brilliant Kim Bodnia / Mikkelsen/Zlatko Buric/Tom Hardy performances shows that he'd make a masterpiece or two in coming years. Hope 'Drive' is the one. 'The Driver' & 'Bullitt' seem to be major influences, but knowing NWR-Gosling, it could be more of Hellman-Oates films (the Man & his machine/rooster), & not to mention my fav. pair of 'Man in the City' 67 classics (Boorman's Point blank / Melville's Le Samourai). In fact, I'd think it's about as much influenced by Yates 'Eddie Coyle' as his 'Bullitt'. That kind of marriage could be harmonious to yours truly. (To self: Dei mOdhala Padatha paaru da)

Thanks for the trailer. Good or bad, I'll watch it for Oldman. But then, films like this a dime a dozen, mate. Gonna go back and dust my Harry Palmer collection.

IMDB rating of 8.9 so I'm expecting it to be really good.
