After watching as many movies as I did, you kinda feel like there isn't much else out there that can surprise you. Boy, was I wrong. Without going into any spoilers or too much detail, this is a truly unique movie, and because of that, it might not be for everyone.
Extreme violence, spectacular cinematography, not much dialogue or monologue for that matter, and a painfully slow pace. But at the end, me and a friend of mine, we went out with big smiles on our faces.
The other ~9 people in the theater, didn't. So you get the point, I hope. It's nothing like Drive, other than the similar visual style.
It's slow, at time extremely confusing, with loads of Freudian theories like the Oedipus complex, etc. Don't watch the movie expecting cliché action or story development, because you will be thoroughly disappointed.
Go see the movie if you want a visual treat, like Refn's work, and don't mind some of the most realistic death and torture scenes I have ever seen.
