Review of Baby Driver (2017) by Itmo — 14 Jul 2017

I went in thinking this might be a step up from the 2011 film "Driver" staring Ryan Gosling. I came out feeling like I had been duped. The characters in this film are the most cliche group of mundane, boring and unoriginal concepts I have seen in a while.

Black ex-con that swears, Tick, Boss in a suit, tick, pretty girl that can shoot, tick. Where the 2011 film Driver was clever, this film lacks any original story telling. Jamie Foxx makes zero sense in this film, and his performance is weak.

Kevin Spacey and Jon Ham don't work in this film at all, Jon Ham as a bad guy just feels off, maybe other actors read the script and thought, "what a pile of crap" pass. It has become really had to believe film critics lately.

Wait for it to come to netflix, not worth the effort of driving to the cinema to watch this average movie.
