Not too bad a film but a huge let down due to false IMDb ratings

Rating: 5/10 (24 July 2017)

Heist movies seem to be the rage these days. Well, heist and superhero movies. Whilst Free Fire was an entertaining and somewhat funny film, Baby Drivers fails at that. The plot is predictable, the story has bigger plot holes than the tire rims used in the souped up cars during car chase scenes. John Hamm's character turns swiftly from a suave and smooth bank robber in to the Terminator that makes little sense. He fails to achieve his purpose.
Jamie Foxx on the other hand did justice to his role albeit it was lukewarm due to how his character has been written in the script.
Soapy romance that tries to make heroes out of Bonnnie & Clyde and makes a martyr out of Kevin Spacey for no good cause other than to give the film a happy ending.
By far, this is Edgar Wright's weakest. I was expecting Hot Fuzz's quirkiness and dark tone, Shaun of the Dead's hilarity and The World's End's absurdness. I got none of that from this film. Fanboys will give it a 10 while I shake my head in disbelief.
5.5/10 at best.
