my main objections to Drive were the unrealistic portrayals of most of the characters, both major and minor. It works as a fantasy, I guess, but it was so close to being sorta real that it jarred badly for me. I have a fairly intimate and wide knowledge of those types, so it just didn't work... it reminded me of a sort of Fellini-esque look at those lives, like as if it were viewed by a catholic schoolboy, idealized? And, most of the people occupying those realms are just banally evil.
