Drives a second rate knock-off of just about every every big league crime director that has ever lived and which only received such positive attention cuz its not totally idiotic, thus setting it apart from 99% of Hollywood slime anno 2011. A rather unremarkable, cheesy movie, all in all.

I just saw Thief and find myself amazed how much "Drive" bears resemblance to it. Any thoughts?
Why are you "amazed"? Hollywood's been ripping itself off with sh!tty remakes for years.
Get a clue.

Drive was good. Thief was good. Driver was good. End of story.

Why don't you see it a third time while you're at it?

both are good obvious refn took a lot from mann in general not just thief, but also manhunter and others but the last 25 minutes of Thief is some of the best stuff I've seen on film.

hahaha! I was thinking the same thing! Wasn't entertaining even the slightest but saw it twice by choice spending 3+ hours of his life watching it. Love it.

I haven't seen "Drive" yet. (Yes, I know, that's crazy, but hey!)
"The Driver" is great! I saw it most recently at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, with Walter Hill in attendance. We got to see a new print too, which looked great! I love the ending of that movie. Classic!
"Thief" is great too! Classic Michael Mann. And, the Tangerine Dream score is too perfect!

Go over to the Drive board and see how many fan boys are talking about what a "brilliant, artistic, masterpiece" Drive is. If you complain about any aspect of the movie, they immediately break into tears and shout how "You just didn't understand it!" as they clutch a copy of the DVD to their breast. Little do they know it's just a carbon copy of Thief, with worse music and a less talented actor in the lead. I did like the action better in Drive though.

Thief is a Masterpiece plain and simple and it stands alone!

Drive is based on a book. The writer might have been influenced by The Driver.
They're all good movies, though I liked Thief and Drive more than The Driver.

Both are good films. I like the villains in Thief better but Drive is more atmospheric. And it's far from being a "carbon copy".

So the critics that loved Drive are also fanboys? I like both films.

Is drive a great film then or is it just a poor remake of thief?
Really want to watch Drive now.

They definitely share similarities.
Thief is a better movie. Drive was enjoyable too.
Drive was quite good visually. Thief is more interested in telling a story.

Just seen Drive, I agree its very similar to Thief except Gosling is younger and has another accent to that of Caan's

I love both films and I can definitely see the influence Refn gained from Mann in his film.

They make great companion films that's for sure.
