I thought this guy was dead


They are making a documentary about this guy and I can't see one film I have even heard of... WTF?! They should make a documentary about me wiping my ass. At least no one saw that before

He's one of the greats of our time show some respect

F-off! Or tell me what he has done that will make me think he is great so I can see it and judge for myself. He is frigging not even old enough to have done enough that he should be having a documentary made about him

He's already directed 9 films despite his young age, all of them are extremely well shot and the general majority of them are brilliant. Don't believe me, go watch "Drive", "Bronson", and The Pusher trilogy. God, why don't you look into someone before you start mindlessly bashing them.

Drive is one of the greatest movies of all time. Also Bronson, Valhalla Rising, and Only God Forgives are near masterpieces. Any one that says otherwise is an idiot.

In your mind, maybe. I think if you asked most people they'd tell you at least two of those movies are dog sh!t. Bleeder and Fear X were terrible as well; and the less said about his Miss Marple movie the better.

He's 45. Not that young. Plus he's been directing movies for 20 years. 9 movies in 20 years is hardly an achievement.

all of them are extremely well shot

His first two movies are pretty shoddy looking actually. Standard TV movie stuff. Fear X is bland looking and again, the less said about his Miss Marple movie the better.

the general majority of them are brilliant

I'd say the fact majority of them aren't. Bleeder, Fear X, Miss Marple, Valhalla Rising and Only God Forgives are terrible. Bronson was just style over substance; well acted but completely superficial.
