Review of Baby Driver (2017) by Thanatopsis — 02 Jul 2017

I love everything Edgar Wright has done, including the TV show Spaced, but overall I didn't like this movie. It was slick and well done, but it just seemed to lack something, like it had no soul. It was formulaic, predictable, and quite dull. I liked the way the editing was done to the music much of the time, but I didn't care for the music. The characters were unlikeable, especially the lead. Nobody had any chemistry.

It was technically well made, but just didn't come together for me.

It would be a fine rental I suppose. I might have liked it better if the characters and the music were better. The two friends I saw it with were much harsher on it than I am, and they are fans of Edgar Wright as well.

The last Fast and Furious movie was probably better.
