Very well put! That's what I hated about Drive too!

The music sucked big time! I was born in the 80s and there is a lot of great music they could have added from the 80s to give the film an authentic 80s feel.

He's one of the most overrated actors in Hollywood, the only film where I've enjoyed his performance was in
Fracture (2007)
