Drive and Only God Forgives are glossy and artistic even with the gore. I'd like to see him direct a true down and dirty exploitation film that's closer to the grimy films he grew up watching but they can't be duplicated. Tarantino tried but didn't nail it.

One thing I learned from watching Hannibal for three series. You don't want Jack and his FBI team guarding you. They are the equivalent of Star Trek's red shirts. You're safer with Inspector Clouseau.
