Saw the trailer and it didn't appeal to me at all but have a friend who saw it last night and said it was fucking brilliant

It reminded me most of Lost Highway by Lynch. The same film noir feel, and stilted dialog.

I was a tad disappointed. It is a good film, don't get me wrong, but not really one that deserves its own thread.
Cliche characters and story, a script calling for Joe Tribbiani school of acting (like, create depth by not saying anything).
There was a better film to be made from that mix of Ghost Dog and Lost Highway, with bits of Bullit thrown in.
The film relies largely on those little aesthetic clever shocking moments—too bad you've seen most of them in the trailers.

Saw it, liked it. Worth the watch.

I like it a lot. Good film, shows LA real nice, well shot, nice motifs of color on the traffic lights etc, good film. It;s not true Romance, but the director's not Tarantino. Gosling's good in it too, doesn't say too much which is the mark of a talented actor
- Tarantino didn't direct True Romance. He wrote it.monospaced

In the opening scene, the cops didn't see him, but they chased him anyway.
- It was close to being great, but a lot of it threw me off.

^ They had a description of his car and knew he was in the area. Listen to the police scanner.

Looks like Nicolas Winding Refn and Ryan Gosling are making more movies together, including remake of Logan's Run

- Holy fucking hell on wheels is that guy handsome or what?mg33
- Be honest, if you woke up to find him naked in your room, beckoning you to pull the covers back and let him in...mg33
- just so he could warm up on a cold night - nothing sexual - just human warmth...mg33

Loved it too, and especially for it's reserve which in turn makes the violence all the more intense. I became obsessed with the blue and orange palette in nearly all the shots, but it's beautifully shot. Bring on the Logan's Run remake...
- yeah, i agree. the first real violent scene is when he stomp the guy in the lift. so intense...sine

I was convinced it was set in the 80's until I saw a mobile phone.

If you liked this one, check out Bronson by the same director.
Actually the earlier Pusher films are good too - Danish gangster movies:)
- Didn't know Bronson was the same director. I like him!orrinward2
- He also directed Valhalla Rising. Which is amazing and brutal.Bets
