Baby Driver

Baby Driver zooms onto the screen with an exhilarating combination of smarts and style.

With Wright in the driver’s seat, your standard getaway driver story is transformed into a giddy, adrenaline-filled joyride that’ll leave you gripping the edge of your seat and tapping your feet.

Amid all the high-speed action, this “Baby” is also spiked with humor. In large part that's thanks to Spacey and Foxx, as well as Jon Hamm, who makes the bank robber Buddy, one of his better movie roles. Having such strong actors also brings a gravitas to the story.

Baby Driver literalizes Edgar Wright’s fascination with people’s emotional overreliance on pop culture as a cover for arrested development.

There’s a hint of artificiality to it. Maybe it’s an allegory, but the meaning hidden therein seems simply to be: go faster. Nothing wrong with that. It’s not as if Wright was shooting for something deeper and missed.

Baby Driver is fast and furious and fun as hell, but its cinema of cool may melt down in the coming years, another artifact of reckless, headstrong youth.

As charming as Baby Driver strives to be, the appeal starts to curdle once Wright makes his fetishistic aims clear.

the film is good and contains a lot of adrenaline, and has a strong cast the film contains many action scenes, and being a car escape, the main character is a guy who keeps to himself, but is very good at driving car, but like a every film sometimes has to gowrong, and it`s in the where the animal catches

I'm a huge Edgar Wright fan, but this one is just a fun but hollow exercise in style. The characters are cutouts, like discount versions from Tarantino's world. Suspension of disbelief can only take you so far before you start to realize there's a lot of frosting but no cake. But it's hard not to enjoy a majority of it if you allow yourself to view it as an expansive sequence of impressive music videos.

ok but **** this was not a good one on the basis of action and showed the normal signs of the hollywood plague of continuously making movies with a mirror romance always repeating the same type of crap love story over and over again in different movies the only reasons those movies usually perform better are due to botched and bought reviews

Hard to believe Wright took this promising premise, started with a bang, then went off cliff to a whole lot of nonsense. A lot of cool music and cinematography doesn't offset for a nonsensical story. Style over substance at its worst.

Saw the trailer at the movies, looked great, never got around to renting it, had it on my watchlist on Netflix for about 18 months, finally got around to watching it. . . Starts really well then capitulates into a mish-mash of sub-stories, none of which are important or interesting. You never really understand the motivation of the leads and the movie never hits the high of the first getaway scene. Pretty sub-par acting by actors who are capable of much more Jamie Foxx was atrocious and Kevin Spacey's character served only as a plot device. Really, just pass on this one.
