Review of Baby Driver (2017) by Ddelplato — 29 Jul 2017

Baby Driver falls short in comparison to Wright’s previous works. A film comprised of flat dialogue, clichéd characters that lack complexity, and sporadic bursts of energy that constantly tease the audience of the film it could have been.

I lost count of how many times I slowly shook my head in disappointment, while starring into Jon Hamm’s dreamy eyes. While the plot can be boiled down into one simple sentence, it’s a mystery as to why the film clocks at 112 minutes.

Perhaps a consistent pace could’ve made the film a bit more palatable. All in all, Baby Driver will not disappoint your average movie go-er. It’s filled with cheap thrills and a predictable story so your friend can proudly yell, “I told you that would happen!”.

However, for those more literate in film, prepare for the worst.
