Also, minor and unnecessary spoilers are here!
Baby Driver is one of the best films I've seen so far this year. A great addition to Edgar Wright's filmography, though it's not his best film.
There are lots of pros than cons in this one. But I mean, we're talking about Edgar Wright so... First of all, the sound editing is Oscar-worthy. Seriously! The way the music syncs with the action, or even small tidbits of the characters' movements, it's so refreshing to see in an action film. I think not much people have done this fully in feature length films like this, which is quite an achievement, if you ask me. The cinematography is top notch, too. Since it's an action film, you, of course, need to watch the action and the stunts/choreography of each scene in films. And thank heavens this movie isn't a cut-to-cutfest. And when it does use cuts, it actually shows what the characters are doing! Learn from this guy, Hollywood!
And another thing is, though the story isn't original, the plot isn't as predictable as you'd think it'd be. Sure, you would know what things would happen as the film goes on, but the thing is that you wouldn't really guess HOW these things would happen. Especially the ending, which disappointed some people, but really, I think it fits the film, only if you'd understand the motivations between the two leads (Ansel Elgort and Lily James).
Speaking of the two leads, a major con for the film is that the romance between the two is under-developed. Knowing crap about music, and driving to different places isn't enough to make a believable romantic chemistry. I know this is an action film, but their chemistry is a major plot point for the film, meaning it has to be developed.
Another thing is that Jon Bernthal is kind of wasted here. Literally, he's only in the film for, like two scenes or more. It's a shame, since Bernthal is a really good actor in films such as The Accountant, Fury, and this year's Wind River. This is a minor flaw, though. It's nothing personal.
Other than the two flaws I have mentioned, this movie is amazing! It's action-packed, music-inducing fun ride 'til the end of the road! It's one of the best movies of 2017 so far! It's up there with Logan, The Big Sick, and Blade Runner 2049.
Final Rating: A | 9/10
