Review of Baby Driver (2017) by Ryeca — 01 Jul 2017
Way over-hyped indeed. This movie is a two hour music video with a plot that falls apart halfway through and mediocre driving sequences. Seems like an attempt to sell a mixtape. The characters make no sense whatsoever and the final "act" of the movie is just a waste; they seem confused about what they wanted the characters and movie to be.
By the end, it seems like they had a cogent movie but edited away too much, which is crazy because the movie is still long as it is. Also, Ansel Elgort is awful and for some reason they told him to fake a southern accent, which is just ridiculous and in no way supportive of any necessary plot elements.
It sounds like he has a speech impediment. Anyway, Jamie Foxx was pretty good in it. Also, to name the movie "Baby Driver" and end the movie with the Simon and Garfunkel song of name is so eye-rollingly cheesy.
