A masterpiece in editing

Rating: 9/10 (23 August 2017)

Baby Driver is a very unconventional movie in today's world. It is very rare to see a fully original script with a great director and a beautiful style.
I loved Baby Driver, it is such a good time and everything about it is almost perfect. The "Gimmick" (It is not really a gimmick) of the movie is that everything in the movie is in beat with a song that "Baby" (main character) is playing in his iPod. This creates some excellent scenes were a lot is happening, yet everything is perfectly on beat.
Production wise, this movie is a 10/10. Every aspect of the production of this movie is great. Actually, I believe this movie should win an Oscar for "Best Editing", it would be a crime not to. This movie has the challenge of keeping everything on beat, and that is primarily done through editing, it is amazing to see how almost everything is following a song, and you don't even notice.
The Cinematography is also outstanding. Edgar Wright uses some very cool shots to film the action scenes, in which you can see everything. There are also some very good one-shot scenes that have a lot of hidden messages waiting for you to find.
I must give credit to Edgar Wright for using actual cars and stunt-men rather than CGI for the car chases, they feel so real and everything is shut perfectly for you to see what is happening.
Of course, the soundtrack is amazing. It contains a lot of great Rock and Blues songs.
Story wise, this movie is also great. The characters are very interesting and well rounded. All the supporting cast was super fun to see on screen and the main character was very interesting by himself. I specially like the character of "Buddy" and all the things he does at the end. Kevin Spacey is remarkably hilarious in his role and gives some great one-liners.
There is some comedy sprinkled through the movie (typical for Edgar Wright), and it almost always lands, he has a lot of experience doing comedy (When I say sprinkled I don't mean that it is very few, I am saying that you shouldn't expect something like Hot Fuzz or World's End where every scene has a joke in it).
The only problem I had with the movie was the love interest. The story was pretty interesting and there was a lot of chemistry between the characters. I just feel that there was not enough time devoted to them and when they have to make important decisions for each other, it just seems like we skipped some scenes were they bonded a lot more. My theory is that there were some scenes that were cut out that provided the romance with more screen time.
It is rare for me to say it, but I actually recommend you to watch this movie twice, because there are a lot of hidden secrets that you will not find in the first one, but will find in the second viewing. I certainly enjoyed the movie more the second time I saw it.
