Finely-tuned film that feels more Paul Greengrass than Edgar Wright

Rating: 8/10 (6 November 2017)

Baby Driver is a stylish example of music done right in film, delivering on all cylinders (get it?) when it comes to action and dialogue.
Where the film stalls (again, get it?) is when it tries to be more stylish than it deserves, which makes the film sputter and die (ok, this is the last one) near the end. An easy 15 minutes could have been trimmed from the theatrical run time, but that's really a nitpick on an otherwise solid film.
One more problem I have that bothered me more than it probably should've, was the camera work during some scenes. Wright traded in on steady cam for a hand-held approach in many scenes that, especially action scenes, really put a damper on many sequences.
This is my least favorite of Edgar Wright's directed works, yes including A Fist Full of Fingers, but that's not a bad thing. Don't avoid this film, just temper your expectations.
