"... that wastes the film it’s printed on. Get to the point, you say. What is it about? Absolutely nothing, really."

I'll slice off the rest of the plot line and go right to:
What on earth is going on here? Was Drive a fluke, or is [Nicolas Winding] Refn just another no-talent from the Lars von Trier school of Something Rotten in Denmark flummery?
Years ago, it used to seem necessary to take in these Danish movies. Life is so much easier now.
