Lots of Fun, Set to a Great Soundtrack

Rating: 9/10 (30 July 2017)

Baby Driver is a fun, dark comedy with an eclectic and amazing soundtrack. The central character has ear buds on most of his waking hours and when he does, we hear the same music as him. The whole movie at times seems like a series of music videos, especially the car chase scenes, which could easily get monotonous, but they are very well done and extremely fun. Some of the plot points and characters are almost one-dimensional cutouts, but you won't have time to think too much about those because the movie moves quickly from one scene to the next and keeps the plot lines engaging as it does. The back part of the movie is darker than the earlier scenes, with more violence and fewer jokes, but it is still a great time. Bonus sightings if you like Mad Men, The Walking Dead, or the Red Hot Chili Peppers, plus the always-amazing Jamie Foxx and Kevin Spacey showing off their acting skills.
For those people who live in Atlanta, this movie is destined to be a drinking game of who can identify the most locations. This was highly entertaining and worth the time and ticket price for some fun escapism.
