Review of Baby Driver (2017) by Bigdegs29 — 28 Jun 2017

An incredibly fun movie that will leave you pumped. Definitely worth seeing in theaters.

That said, it is not without it's problems. For a movie that advertises itself as being a car chase movie, it has relatively few chases, even getting the best out of the way right off the hop. What you get instead is a love story that improbably strays toward Bonnie and Clyde, then ditches that cliche at the last minute. I was also disappointed with Baby's back story, as the "good guy trapped in a bad spot" justification for wrong-doing is getting old. And finally, you'll have to suspend your disbelief during the gun play, as our heroes/villains seemingly have a dozen horseshoes up their backsides!

All that a side, the direction and acting are superb and, if you're like me, will leave you wanting more.
