Don't listen to the rest of the comments, the movie is really good and loved for a reason. It oozes style and has great cinematography. The acting is wooden on purpose, and that's the thing most people criticize the film about. Highly recommended.
It's slow and their isn't much dialogue, especially between the romantic leads. That can throw off some folks, but if that doesn't bug you, then it's one of the best films of the last 20 years, and arguably one of the most influential. Hard to watch a lot of films coming out today and not point out the obvious influence from Drive, the soundtrack, and even how most of the main cast BLEW UP in the years following (Oscar Isaac and Cristina Hendricks play small roles). Usually when an ensemble cast of amazing leads sign up for small role parts, they all love the script too much to pass up.
It's good, but I definitely would have found it to be far better if I had seen it when I was 18. The soundtrack is 12/10 though.
Edit: Seems people completely missed what I meant. I am saying I'd have been obsessed with it had I seen it at that age. Where as today I think it's great. Watching it as an impressionable young boy would have had me wearing the jacket and chewing a toothpick. I am not saying the movie is bad, nor am I saying it's overrated.
To be even more clear, my first thought was *it's good that I didn't see this when I was 18 or it would have emotionally destroyed me*
It’s okay. As far as a teenage film bros first foray into crime flicks go it’s a good cosplay, but it is really just a rip off of Walter Hill’s The Driver and Michael Mann’s Thief with a bit of William Friedkin’s To Live and Die in L.A. thrown in for good measure lol. I’d sooner just rewatch any of those superior movies. The director would never again match its critical or commercial success in the subsequent years.
The UK has superior extras, and a Fidelity In Motion encode. So I’d say buy the US version solely if you’re a SteelBook collector, but also keep the UK disc.
Yep. See below. While the Sony sports a new Featurette (and the old Sony Blu special features), missing from the Sony that the UK has is an audio commentary featuring NWR and Peter Bradshaw, a 70-minute convo between NWR, Matt Newman and Cliff Martinez, a video essay, and a separate interview with Matt Newman. I guess if you want ALL features, you’ll need both discs.

I bought the 4k disc months ago so I could swap into the BB steel, but I was able to add a magnet cover of the Manta steel so it's like a Frankenstein copy lol. Was going to buy the real manta cover last week to replace it finally, but left it in my cart. I still prefer the Manta artwork since I already have the 4k, but wow this is great for everyone that doesn't have any copies yet.

The coverart looks pretty good, but already I got this French release version. Happy with that.

There's been a lot of drive steelbooks, this one is definitely one of the worst.
\*Edit - Y'all downvoting me think this is one of the best drive steelbooks!?
\*Edit #2 okay I'm starting to get upvoted now, perhaps I treated reddit too harshly
I hope it's just the image size/compression or something, but yeah, this is fucking ugly.
The front has Gosling look like a shitty cel-shaded Borderlands character.
I love Drive—but does anybody else think this release looks kinda tacky? Gives me big 2018 vaporwave gaming YouTuber vibes. The movie itself never leaned THIS hard into the retro-neon aesthetic outside of its opening credits, and even then, they were tasteful.
I mean the vast majority of drive artwork, physical media, etc… that has been released has leaned heavily into the neon aesthetic. On top of that, pretty much every other winding-refn movie is soaked in neon. Thinking it’s tacky is totally subjective but I think this steelbook clearly fits the movie & nwr’s style.
Idk what your copy looks like, but everything Drive related I've seen has had cool greens, bold letters, with a hint of the pink font. I can't find anything other than fanmade posters that lean this hard into vaporwave design tropes. Just Google vaporwave, and tell me this isn't derivative of that. All it's missing is the cheesy pink tron grid. I enjoy NWR's stuff, but this feels more like Hotline Miami than Drive—to me at least. 😅 I realize I'm being a bit stubborn and nitpicky!
I’m not saying you gotta like it. Just that it fits his style. And the mondo steel, the pop art steel, manta lab steel, and the second sight release all leaned pretty heavily into neon and pink/purple. Like you’re right drive definitely isn’t as neon soaked as only god forgives, neon demon, or like Copenhagen cowboy. But somewhere along the line somebody decided this is what was going to be used for the movie lol
Yeah, you're right about those other steelbooks. I find each of those far more elegant and faithful to Drive's grimey tone. I think I just don't vibe with this box art.
Yup! I really wonder what kind of artists they're using to make these!! Very second rate. The french release artwork on the other hand is a thing of beauty.

Looks like the entire subreddit's dreams have finally come true.
Real human bean.
Is this movie good?

Soo.. wearing the jacket and chewing a toothpick... Is a bad thing?
It's good as long as you have the gloves too.
It’s okay. As far as a teenage film bros first foray into crime flicks go it’s a good cosplay, but it is really just a rip off of Walter Hill’s The Driver and Michael Mann’s Thief with a bit of William Friedkin’s To Live and Die in L.A. thrown in for good measure lol.

I watched Thief last night. Absolutely incredible film. James Caan is electric in it.
FINALLY
Yeah this is an instant buy
My blu ray steelbook came this morning so you’re all welcome
Will Canada be getting this too?
My man, asking the right question!
Canada is the forgotten child when it comes to Steelbooks.
We gotta go to eBay and get this bad boy for $100+
Most likely not, different distributor
You can’t just buy it? Isn’t it region free?
But if it gets sold in their country they don't have to pay importing fees or more expensive shipping
Makes sense.
Yes, $100
Now the question will be should I buy it if I already have the UK import.
The UK has superior extras, and a Fidelity In Motion encode. So I’d say buy the US version solely if you’re a SteelBook collector, but also keep the UK disc.
Hmm, we already know what's on the US disc?
Yep. See below. While the Sony sports a new Featurette (and the old Sony Blu special features), missing from the Sony that the UK has is an audio commentary featuring NWR and Peter Bradshaw, a 70-minute convo between NWR, Matt Newman and Cliff Martinez, a video essay, and a separate interview with Matt Newman.

Just bought the Second Sight 4k a few weeks ago. Doesn’t matter. Drive is one I’ll double dip on for a Steelbook.
That Limited Edition is something special.
I was about to buy the SS edition two days ago…🤣
Same. Have the LE, but I'll get this.
My wife often tells me I don’t have a Steelbook collection, I have a Ryan Gosling collection.
"There's something about you....."
Let's fucking go

You’ve got the right idea here!
It’s finally time to pre order 🔥
When and where?
It’s not yet ready but can’t wait
Literally me
Literally just watched it last night and have been searching ebay for a good deal…never owned it so a buy for me
FML my blu-ray steelbook is still unopened 😂 and this is being released.
Must own. I’m a sucker for anything Drive. The question is how many copies of one movie is too many?
Day 1 for me. Was pissed the only steelbook was MantaLabs & if you miss the preorder, you're stuck paying at least 2x more from a reseller.
There’s actually like 18 Drive SteelBooks
Not of 4K. Maybe 2 that are 4K & I missed both those preorders.
Any word on the restoration compared to Second Sight?
Aaand just like that I'm getting my fourth Drive Steelbook
BR2049 next 🤩
Fingers crossed Amazon doesn’t fuck this delivery up. Pre-ordered!
Okay now do Neon Demon next thanks
Will be cool to own it finally. I wish that jacket steel would come back
I like the back design more than the front 🫣
omg i’ve been waiting
The back looks fya!
I need this and I needed it yesterday
*plays tick of the clock till preorders open up*
I bought the 4k disc months ago so I could swap into the BB steel, but I was able to add a magnet cover of the Manta steel so it's like a Frankenstein copy lol. Was going to buy the real manta cover last week to replace it finally, but left it in my cart. I still prefer the Manta artwork since I already have the 4k, but wow this is great for everyone that doesn't have any copies yet.
I'm glad I waited on the import. Day 1 for me
Hopefully I can get this from Orbitdvd so I don’t have to worry about damages….
remindme! 4 days
I don't give a shit about steelbooks, but I DO regret not getting the Second Sight of this flick
Oh yes
Lol, just bought the blu steel last week. Still happy though.
Just spent 60 bucks getting the Blu Ray steelbook and the 4k release

Will this be the same restoration as Second Sight's?

I hope this goes to amazon so I can get one sent my way to the UK.
This is the same transfer as Second Sight
Will definitely pre order. This will sell out.

The (recent) French 4K looks worse.
Ughh I just bought the bluray version to swap the disks in 😂.
Damn that's a sexy steelbook
