Surprisingly good

Rating: 8/10 (13 July 2017)

We were the oldest people in the audience by far, and didn't have particularly high hopes for what looks like a version of a Fast and Furious movie from the preview. But the cast includes Kevin Spacey and we figured that he doesn't normally sign up for rubbishy films.
We ended up thoroughly enjoying Baby Driver. From the opening scene with Baby walking to get coffees, listening to music and with key words from the lyrics 'hidden' in plain sight on signs and graffiti along the way, the design of the movie is just a little bit stylized. The music throughout the movie is thankfully a mix of all sorts of genres, since the soundtrack is an important part of the film. There was something for everyone.
The plot starts fairly predictably, but halfway through it takes a sudden dark turn. The second half is really very well done.
One word of warning: if you're a guy, get someone else to drive you home afterwards. The impulse to drive like Baby might be too much for you.
