Dark Drive Justified

So I re-watched Dark Knight Rises, and boy, it doesn't really hold up much, does it? Catwoman is pretty boring. She's feisty in a politically correct way. And her arc is she doesn't care about anybody, oh, no, wait, she does care. The only fun scenes are the ones involving Bane, and that's mostly because of his voice. If Nolan had told Hardy, no, don't do that silly voice, the whole film would have been worthless.
Drive is my first Nicolas Winding Refn film and my first Ryan Gosling film, and now I want to see all their films. Refn is like a young Ridley Scott, and Gosling has almost a Steve McQueenish vibe. The film is very stylish, but there's also a slight... emptiness? It's all pretty much surface. But that's okay now and then. Ordered Valhalla Rising. Season 4 of Justified was pretty good, after the disappointing third season, but maybe not quite up to the second one. If I have a problem with the show it's that it moves so quickly. A lot of story is jammed into the 38 - 40 minutes of each episode. Slow it down, guys! Creating tension takes time.
