Solid entertainment

Rating: 7/10 (15 December 2017)

A nice thriller comedy but a bit overrated in terms of the huge fandom and cult status it received. It was an original approach to the heist movie genre and much more open for a younger audience which I liked because it was fresh. I liked the soundtrack and the leading character Baby, extremely well played by Ansel Egort who hopefully escapes his current image with that as he really has some talent.
I also liked Kevin Spacey, yes need to be objective here, he did give a decent performance and I always liked to see him playing a villain character. It was not among his best performance but a good turn after all. Jamie Foxx was fun and I liked every scene he was in. Good scene stealer. Jon Hamm was probably the best of the cast, also playing totally against image and extremely believable so. Lily James was ok but nothing too special. Good screenplay and soundtrack. Extremly well edited action scenes and a solid direction. Its a fun bag yes, but something was a bit off sometimes. Still a watchable and entertaining film
