“Drive” – Actions speak louder than words

Occasionally, you might watch a movie that doesn’t really thrill you, and you wonder why it earned so much chatter.  Then, hours or the next day later, you’re still thinking about it until finally a piece fits, then another, and then another.  Then you start to understand.  That’s what happened with Drive, directed by Nicolas…
