Review of Baby Driver (2017) by Zedzded — 26 Sep 2017

I so so wanted to enjoy this movie. in a summer of really terrible movies this had the promise of being a gem amidst all the dreck. the first 15 minutes were really entertaining, a bit surreal in parts and innovative. unfortunately it all went downhill from there with an incredibly uninspiring plot, weak acting from bored actors.

The music gimmick is exactly that, a gimmick. the lead actor is like watching paint dry. the dialogue and character motivations are weak and inexplicable. the female characters are uninspired stereotypes.

What a wasted opportunity for something that could have been amazing. I give it a few marks for the impressive driving scenes and some of the musical bits. the rest of it is just bad formulaic trash.
