Review of Baby Driver (2017) by Liam H — 24 Oct 2017

When there is action going on in this movie it is well written and exciting. There is also a very powerful performance from Jamie Fox. Kevin Spacey is also very good. The rest of the film is actually annoying.

The characters lack depth and a lot of the scenario's come across as unconvincing. Which makes the characters 2d and not believeable. In real life no one swings through the street humming songs to themself.

Things like that are stupid and do no service to the movie. The main character himself has a lot of fake, cheesy moments and so does his girlfriend. It makes the movie unconvincing. Their romance is quite sweet but it is centred around annoying cheesy moments.

Also the movie doesn't know what era it want's to be. It is set in the present but the stylisation is very early 80's which is confusing and a bit of a hotch potch.
