one of the better flicks of 2017

Rating: 9/10 (18 September 2017)

Promising trailer made me go watch Baby Driver. Also stated as the blockbuster of the summer of 2017. Once it hit the theaters over here it was soon gone and it never became what it was promised and did remind me of last years summer failure, also called the blockbuster, Suicide Squad (2016). I agree, Suicide Squad did fail as a flick but Baby Driver didn't for me.
But I can understand all the writings about it because it isn't a 'normal' flick. It do has all elements of a suspenseful flick. But it's the excellent or even exquisite editing combined with the score that do annoy a lot of people but if you can dig that then you are into a really fine flick. The score used never bothered me, there are even a few surprises in it for me like The Damned (Neat Neat Neat). The shootings throughout the flick edited on the music made it for me a delight to see. Must have taken a lot of patience to do that.
Nevertheless, the opening scene with the car chase is a must see and it one of the best seen in years. Another surprise are the brands of cars that they are using. There's something for everybody from German cars to old US cars to Japanese cars to even the newest muscle cars.
I found it a stunning flick with superb cinematography and editing. Naturally the use of all those songs did remind me of Guardians Of The Galaxy (2014) were the score was also a main thing. And for the older viewers, yes it's cassette galore, those good old Maxells from the eighties. One of the better flicks of 2017.
