I liked how the crime action in "Drive" was done differently than what you typically get in the big budget movies of this genre. I think it is important to note the fact "Drive" is a movie by director Nicolas Winding Refn, who's also filmed "Only God Forgives" as well as "Copenhagen Cowboy" series.
