To me Refn has proven to be one of the best younger directors out there. Bronson is just a well rounded masterpiece.

[TheMrCorvax]

Refn is amazing, both Drive and Bronson are incredible.

@grimekingify what is your problem? Why would he lie? Nicolas made the film so he knows

[myers82]

@TheMrCorvax totally agree ;-)

I only discovered this movie this year and so glad I did. This movie has rocked my world. One of the greatest modern masterpieces. Nicholas Refn is a genius in the progress. Watch this guy very closely.

i think it's so great that now this film is getting even more attention now that Hardy's in Dark Knight Rises.

1) The budget was not $1m, it was £2.5m, so roughly (in 2008) was $4.5m.

2) The home office would never let you film in a prison anyway.

3) The film was not all shot in a 'house', parts of it were actually shot in a disused prison.

4) Refn did not write the script, or rewrite it. Brock Norman Brock wrote it.

5) Brock's script was not lying around 'for years', it was written specifically for Refn, the draft before that had been 'lying around' for just over a year.

6) 'Femininism'. LOL

@Sinkorfly Yeah Valhalla Rising is a great piece. Makes you wonder what he's going to make in the next decade. From the Pusher trilogy to Valhalla Rising he has changed just a bit, so it would be nice to see his progress.

[Sinkorfly]

@TheSlackerebel as well as valhalla rising. very worth checking out. the main charecter "one eye' does not speak through the whole movie but you fall in love with him.
