I understand why people like it, but it's not too good

Rating: Null/10 (10 July 2017)

Baby Driver's success is largely a result its circumstance: a time where the general public has been starved of fresh, non-franchise action flicks. Profiting from this plague and drawing inspirations from films such as Badlands (1973) and Bonnie and Clyde (referenced literally) for shocking crime/killings sprees (more so towards the finale) to Guardians of the Galaxy for trying to cram in as many hip old school tunes as possible, Baby Driver does not fall short of being what it set out to be: a Tarantino-esque entertaining summer blockbuster.
THE GOOD: cinematography, music (at times), Jamie Fox. THE BAD: John Hamm's Terminator impression (he keeps coming back to life), cliché plot, lack of respect for audience intelligence seen in unnecessary plot-device dialogue, music (at times). THE UGLY: Kevin Spacey's double chin
Overall, Baby Driver is little more than a nostalgia film in disguise that is at best superficially entertaining.
