Great rhythm, every sense of the word

Rating: 7/10 (7 July 2017)

With Baby Driver I got exactly what I expected, and that's in no way a bad thing: Brilliantly directed action and many highly stylised scenes that have become a welcomed staple for this director.
Something that everyone who's seen this film is talking about is the choreographed action that lines up perfectly with the movie's charismatic soundtrack, and sometimes it even becomes it's own soundtrack entirely. It's a fresh addition that makes the movie feel it's own, but I fear for some it may come off as a bit of a gimmick. I loved it regardless.
Some of the problems with the movie are the villains, which there are multiple of. Jamie Fox came off as a bit too superficial, and really didn't sell me on anything he did. He seemed more like an actor playing a role than the crazed maniac that he was trying to be. Everyone is praising John Ham who I thought was great at first but in the latter half of the movie he seemed way too ott for my liking. I know that that's kinda Wright's style but he came off a little too cheesy for me. Kevin Spacey I thought was interesting as the mysterious boss figure but later on fell a bit flat considering his ending.
If you've seen other Edgar Wright you can gauge with some accuracy what this will have in store for you, and I definitely recommend this if you were a big fan of Wright's Scott Pilgrim film. A very decent and unique movie, 7/10
