Family fun with a car and a gun

Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2018)

On first viewing I knew I loved this film on a gut level, but on an intellectual level I could not quite figure out why.
It took a second viewing to allow some of the elements that had registered sub conciously to register with my slower concious mind.
I will not spoil the fun of discovering these "extras" for yourself, suffice to say that when you start looking, and listening, you will be astounded at how much more is going on than at first we realise.
Some critics have actually criticised this as being a bit kitsch, or too cutesy by half, but I say, "go suck a lemon, you miserable gits. Crack a smile and give yer ass some competition."
The action is great, the violence is strong, but not gory, the music brilliant and as critical to the plot as any movie I've seen. Then we have the two main characters being really well played by Ansel Elgort and Jon Hamm, delivering far more than the one dimensional fare usually portrayed by protagonists in action films.
So I rate this higher than your average getaway flik, because it delivers so much more than just action, it brings tons of fun. More than once.
