Original, stylish and intelligently crafted.

Rating: 8/10 (27 December 2017)

8.5/10 for clarification.
Baby Driver's opening sequence, and a number of scenes that supersede it, present the film as being an aggressively stylish, intelligently crafted and highly engaging work.
Though Driver's magic never fully dissolves, it's aggressive style and engagement slightly diminishes which sadly impacts the overall experience.
The incredible and varied performances and the personas they encompass never cease to massively impress throughout the runtime.
The relationship between Baby and Debora is commendably original and one of the least contrived I have ever observed.
Some of the dialogue is excellently crafted, and this extends to the admirable use of humour.
To some extent, the violent fight sequences impress, however they fail to thrill and feel somewhat lacklustre.
Overall, Baby Driver is a stylish experience that's complemented further by the incredible performances.
