All the retro elements (opening credits, jacket, cars, music) came across as too much/trying too hard -- like margarine -- but I guess that's LA for you. And from a writing perspective I think the strong silent type is a cop-out. It makes for an easy script. For a better kindred film, I'd recommend Miami Blues with Alec Baldwin, a fantastic Jennifer Jason Leigh and Fred Ward who produced and (I think) help write the film.
Sadly, I've still got about five minutes to go to Drive. I lost interest at the elevator scene.
