Nope--even the great music cannot save it.

Rating: 4/10 (28 June 2017)

So many of the accolades thrown at this movie on IMDb must be paid-for. It is one thing that I alone did not enjoy the movie--but the swathe of movie-goers in the cinema with me all walked out with the same emotion: "What a waste of great music, great talent and a classic theme."
The first 15 mins of the film is the best you will get. From there the film tumbles its way down an odd alley of incohesive dribble. Edgar Wright is known for genre-mixing--but any attempt to do so here was half-hearted and results in a boring mix of genres with a dull subtractive effect on the plot.
John Hamm, Kevin Spacey and Jamie Foxx must have signed up for a classic Wright film and now must be shaking their heads in disbelief for partaking in this sad waste of silver screen.
