Overrated

Rating: 6/10 (14 July 2017)

This movie seems like it was written by someone not from America who had watched a lot of action movies but didn't quite understand the realities of day to day life here. In a 2 minute heist the police don't show up 15 seconds later. 20 seconds after that the area is not swarming with the police to the point that you cannot get away without outrunning 20 squad cars who seem to know exactly where you are no matter how far away you have gotten.
Its too bad because this is half a good movie. There are compelling characters, its got a cool soundtrack, there is a good twist, and the acting is good. The problem is everything seems compacted and contrived to the point where things seem to happen for no real reason.
Why does someone in both crews decide to bust Baby's chops so hard? Where does Baby's and the boss's close relationship come from? There is a scene where a lot of people get shot in a warehouse for no reason. It seems like violence for the sake of violence and/or just lazy writing.
If they would have filled in the blank spots it would have been the movie people (fan boys) are saying it is.
