If Ryan Gosling was in this, it would be a 7.6 on IMDB

A low grossing film doesn't mean it was weak at the box office. The gross doesn't matter, the gross compared to investment is what matters.
Drive wasn't supposed to make more than $35 million, as you just said it was an art film. It did very well at the box office.
Gosling doesn't star in cookie-cutter mainstream movies hence he doesn't have a huge box office track record. And when he does do a mainstream film they do well, i.e. Crazy, Stupid, Love and The Notebook. Quality is irrelevant, art films are only going to make so much as wide audiences can't handle them, they're too busy spending $13 on the latest mindless Michael Bay trash. -

How much action can you possibly want out of a movie? It's all action from the get go until about half an hour in when Morgan Freeman and the girl take him into their home where the movie get's sentimental for a short while until Lee is captured and imprisoned again and all hell breaks loose for about the last half hour. Why do some people want wall to wall action and no story? -

Damn right. To me, Gosling is like DiCaprio. Gosling has been an underacting bore for years, whereas DiCaprio has been an over-acting bore for years. They've given some good performances in their careers alright (never been that impress with Gosling), but "lately" their acting has become self-conscious and yet it's always getting praise beyond belief. Now when it comes to an action star like Van Damme, all I can say is his acting is indeed underrated. Granted he's been in some generic flicks that require little to no acting, but nevertheless, the guy has always had the capacity to convincingly express emotions. In a word, I find his acting in movies such as Lionheart, Double Impact, Timecop, Maximum Risk, In Hell, and of course JCVD, to be quite effective. Ultimately, I know the "real" actors previously mentioned are two of the most beloved thespians of our time shudder so mentioning Van Damme in the same breathe as them is laughable to many. At any event, while Van Damme made a name for himself in action flicks, he could have been great in more dramatic stuff (Nowhere to Run was a good example).

I didn't read but saw the title of the Post.
So if Ryan Gosling hooked up with 1 "real woman" like Eva Mendes, he's considered "straight or masculine.oh no better yet manly" ???
Yeah the sarcasm of the OP does make perfect sense. I just don't see any talent in Ryan. At least Van Damme had to pay some dues to become a "global name".
BTW when I saw Gosling's name in that gangster movie, I wanted to tap out. I knew the world was really going down the drain. -

And he would deliver a much worse performance than Van Damme. Because let's face it as much as the ladies love Ryan Gosling he couldn't deliver a decent performance with a gun held to his head. Even Keanu Reeves is a better actor than Ryan Gosling. I truly hate Ryan Gosling. A man with two facial expressions. Smiling and looking like a moron. Looking serious and looking like a moron. And I hate his stupid beard.
