Honestly just as well made as Wrights previous work. Just picture a heist/crime caper in the style of Edgar Wright then you've got this, because he has not lost his style at all. It's well acted, and I particularly liked Hamm. The story isn't too predictable and I thought it was a dream come true seeing everything and everyone in the movie moving to Baby's music. I'd recommend it.

You know when you're walking down the street listening to Midnight Train to Georgia on your headphones and the world, all on its own, seems to swing in step to Gladys' groove? That's this movie, almost all the time. It's a sound and visual editing tour de force - a two-hour dance number with cars and guns and practical effects. Importantly, when everything is grooving to perfection and the action starts, the tension feels legitimate, and deserved - a rarity.
10	Luna6ix	73 _44th
Largely appreciated for it's stylish presence and meticulous editing, integrating music and film into one. So, as a film-making exercise, there's a great deal of craft shown in this movie. But that does not a great movie make. I can't help but feel that Baby felt generic and boring, like Wright wrote in a couple quirks here and there to make him seem less one dimensional than he is. The truth is that every other character outshined Baby by leagues, especially Spacey, and that's a major problem.
9	terrymac	79 _81st
Really very enjoyable, and it was great to see Wright step outside of his excellent "Cornetto trilogy" with such capability. The cast (which doesn't recycle any of the normal Wright stalwarts) is terrific, and it's clear that a huge amount of attention to detail went into this, in particular the interplay between the music and the editing. I'll nitpick and say I wasn't wholly captivated by the overall plot and the romance element, but this was fun, and well worth a look.
9	djross	30 _13th
What's surprising is not that so much effort can be expended for so little result, but that all that effort can still come off as being so very lazy. All Wright's problems are present: mechanical scripts and characters designed to please a crowd while presenting the thinnest veneer of something different so as to garner critical approval. Increasingly difficult to avoid the conclusion he's a climber who's desperate to be liked by everyone: in short, a fake and a conformist. Brody got it right.
9	backwardsuit	69 _44th
The 1st 30 mins set up an amazing action movie but the rest fails to fulfill its promise on almost every level. Characters remain undeveloped, story loses focus, tone conflicts itself & action degenerates into bland mediocrity. The strong musical element turns into somewhat of a gimmick, the passive love-interest feels weird alongside the nihilistic crooks & the ecstatic finale I expected never came. It's good fun but I loved the initial concept too much to not lament its missed potential.
7	theficionado	50 _48th
BD has this resonant idea that music is the only thing keeping a lingering, omnipresent artifact of trauma, physical & emotional, at a distance. It speaks to an ambivalence: pop culture as necessary salve & impediment to catharsis. In its concern for how we use pop culture, see echoes of Scott Pilgrim. But there pop culture provides access to Scott's headspace, reimagining his romantic rivals as a pantheon of supervillains. Here, it's mostly the backdrop to a set of admittedly cool action scenes
7	forehead1	30 _11th
If you can make it through the first 30 minutes of watching some wanker lip-syncing to pop music, all you get is a tired, off-the-shelf heist movie with characters so empty you never give a shit what happens to any of them. The script is bland, action scenes poor, and the whole thing comes across not as cool, but cringeworthy. I had no idea about the hype around this film until after I'd seen it, and it baffles me. I thought this wannabe-Tarantino rubbish was done with by the late '90s.
7	Paxton	80 _87th
Baby Driver is to Death Proof what Zombieland was to Planet Terror. Tone it down, don't lose any of the fun, love the source inspirations and keep it moving. Ultimately, I think both surpassed their Grindhouse comparisons. The only Grindhouse comparison I've surpassed is I've been exploited slightly more online.
7	Groovy_Souls	95 _97th
An out of this world romp spearheaded by the never-failing Edgar Wright, and headlined by perhaps the most talented cast I've seen in years. All of the characters are interesting, and their relationships believable. This, all meshing into an unpredictable story with great direction and editing, and a solid conclusion. A film fan's dream come true.
6	Kojiless	74 _79th
Underneath all the (super-rad) driving and the all the (smoking-hot) babbys, Babby Driver is essentially a mixtape CD shoved by an aspiring artiste into the hands of unsuspecting passersby strolling down the Sunset Strip. Luckily this one didn't upload malware onto my PC, but reconfirmed the fact that my taste in music is shite and I should be ashamed of not spending more of my 20s in the murky recesses of Soho record shops.
6	AFlickering	1 _4th
wright's always been a pandering, masturbatory motherfucker without pegg's human touch, and he reaches a career nadir with this bumbling collision of edgy, pseudo-QT subversion and laughably retrograde sentiment. everything is a pose, everything is strained, even the action deevolves into spatially murky chaos after the neat opening. i'm 30 this year and yeesh, i'm really starting to feel (& sound) like it, but until the fun police stop sleeping on PREMIUM RUSH they can suck it.
6	Barthalen	80 _81st
On a pure entertainment level, Baby Driver had me hooked and along for the ride. (Rides?) I wanted a slick, not specifically deep crime heist betrayal one-last-score kinda thingy with a nice soundtrack. That's what I got, and I ain't complainin'. Every time guns were blasting to the beat, I smiled. Not even Spacey could ruin this, which was unexpected. "Wa- wa- was he slow?"
6	deaddilly	75 _60th
Kind of like an aptly-named crazy little brother of Refn's "Drive". "Baby Driver" is a masterclass in sound and editing, propelled by Elgort who clearly has fun with the role. My gripe with the film comes solely from its ridiculously over-conclusive ending. Its clear that Wright missed the mark with some of the writing, but the fun and charm that the movie carries makes it all forgiven by me.
6	timmytom	70 _51st
Usually films like this fall apart once the plot takes over. This one dissolves when the plot fails to arrive.
5	Moribunny	35 _19th
Masturbatory macho fantasy bullshit complete with a nonsense hero, the mandatory physically impossible action scenes, and a dehumanizing portrayal of women, and so trite the cliches fell asleep (yes, it actually makes "Drive" look original by comparison).
5	Neonman	57 _12th
The auteur theory gone awry. What Mark Kermode said about Tarantino being like that jacket-wearing uncle at a wedding showing off his record collection applies to Wright here -- there's a great degree of posing, showing off, and trying to be cool. When it's trying to be enjoyable and high-octane, it succeeds, though it's a really stupid and predictable kind of enjoyable. Hamm, Foxx, and Spacey do fairly well, though all the characters are lifelessly mashed together in the laziest fashion.
5	elmakebabi	41 _13th
What a lame story! What was all the hype about?
5	Ocelot	40 _31st
I don't get it. it's a pretty lousy crime plot with some music over it. a massive disappointment coming from Edgar Wright, who is maybe the best editor working today. I thought the music would play a more significant plot but it's just Guardians of the Galaxy's character arc played by a guy with zero charm. Jamie Foxx's character is fucking dumb and hackneyed and they all kind of are. I'd probably give this an even lower score if I wasn't a coward
5	SirStuckey	75 _67th
How could anyone argue that Edgar Wright isn't the most talented director today? He puts on a masterclass of editing, sound editing, camera work, and pacing. Often when directors put their stamp on a movie it feels so put on that it takes me out of the movie. With Wright I notice and am still absorbed in the world because of how natural it is. It makes Guardians of the Galaxy look like amateur hour with the use of music within a film.
5	antidood1	50 _17th
I don't get the hype. This movie severely lacks any kind of forward momentum, with many scenes portraying a "we're going to do this and that" kind of situation. Just do the thing already! Syncing action sequences to music sounds like a fun idea, but in practice it adds surprisingly little to the experience. Most crucially; the action scene set to Hocus Pocus is only marginally better than the one from the Robocop remake, which means I'm still waiting for a great scene to go with this great song.
4	Suture Self	7 _67th
Baby Driver is the movie equivalent of driving on the highway with your windows down, music blasting. It's about as tacky as a Denny's dinner entree but as exciting as receiving that first paycheck. More than anything else, it's a healthy reminder that movies can be fun. For those interested in music, this is essentially a musical, with every beat and step synced to the soundtrack.
4	KasperL	75 _77th
Edgar Wright conquers Hollywood. The car chases were impressive, as were the choreography in the 'Harlem Shuffle' sequence. Though there are fewer jokes than we're used to from Wright, there are a few doozies for sure (the Austin Powers masks and the 'Monsters, Inc.' thing). I'm not sold on Ansel Elgort, but Lily James nails her part, and the rest of the supporting cast is really fun.
4	TheRealJ-Ro	85 _84th
The only real significant flaw that I can point out with this is -- and it may come as a surprise with the glowing casting praise this is getting -- the miscasting (to me) of Foxx and Bernthal. I would have much preferred their roles be reversed. Hamm and Spacey both deliver. It's not Edgar Wright at his best or most stylish -- possibly attributed to this being his first mostly-US-made film -- but it's more than enough of what I expected to keep this at a really high level of enjoyment for me.
4	fenixdown	86 _94th
Very clever and lots of fun.
4	oldgoat	81 _86th
While drive was boring and slow, this was deliberate. The devil is in the details I suppose, and this is a movie done right. To say it's actually fun without being pandering is something I rarely get to say but here we are.
4	FrederikA	70 _67th
Undeniably well crafted and thoroughly enjoyable heist caper, but it also can't be denied that the movie has several character problems. Not just in the blank-sheet lead (or the colorful yet bizarrely inconsistent supporting roster) but also the film itself; for all its slick editing and groovy music, lacks personality. Surprising - considering the director.
4	Trash Puppet	6 _32nd
Did I watch the same film as everyone else??
4	CMonster	87 _85th
I feel like I have something very similar to Edgar Wright where sometimes I'll hear a song and a perfect movie scene plays out in my head. I feel I'm also dis-similar in the sense that I don't have the talent, motivation, or connections to turn those ideas into something watchable. Also, Radar Love may be the best driving song ever and I'm really glad it was included on this soundtrack.
4	goremeat	70 _58th
Engaging in the tense action set-pieces, but forgettable in the spaces in between. Take a heist film and put it through a broadway-o-matic and here you go.
4	Gnalkhere	75 _59th
Will add 2 more points if this film is responsible for reviving the iPod Classic
4	JJ1986	70 _77th
The first 45 minutes are great, but Wright mistakes his choreographed-driving-film for a semi-tragic romance and takes the plot away from the action. The middle of the film lacks momentum - the time is devoted to character, but a dead mother is an incredibly hackneyed backstory and more character is given to Jamie Foxx than the love interest; Debora is basically a well-acted prop. The climax too forgoes the musical-styling of the earlier action scenes and the films endings feel like an epilogue.
4	o_rety	80 _69th
Another music video masquerading as an action film. This time though it's a quality job. All style before substance, but the style is first class.
4	Dakota99	8 _88th
This is definitely on the level of Wright's previous work. Baby Driver is one of the more unique movies I've ever seen. From a rather interesting backstory and unique character in Baby (Ansel Elgort) to amazing performances of Jamie Foxx, John Hamm, and Kevin Spacey, Baby Driver nearly does everything right, aside from a few pacing issues and first half I found more interesting than the second, this is a movie that everyone should see. This only helps certify Wright as one of the best today.
4	TimeCapsule	92 _95th
Edgar Wright's latest film after his "Ant-Man"(2015) departure is a brilliant action packed car-chase-musical/soundtrack movie. The fantastic editing between the visual action beats and the music creates a harmony that powers a thrilling momentum driving the movie forward through every twist and turn. Wright's style and direction combined with this fantastic cast of supporting characters take a familiar feeling story and turns it into a unique instant classic.
4	Mist600	86 _72nd
Original, inventive, Fun. HAD I seen it uninformed I would have come out raving 4 it. Sadly, Brits love 4 Edgar Wright & justified sympathy (Ant-Man debacle) -> maybe just a TAD over-hype + OTT goodwill for EW's passion project. So, I expected 1 of best films of my viewing life & it wasn't that Eg. I'd cut 5m of JH as T-800 & -> improve hugely pace, realism + remove tiny section of drag I felt @ that point. Otherwise, *great! 5 film, superb just not quite Holy Grail hyped**
3	Filligan	96 _94th
It's unfair that movies can be this flawlessly orchestrated, but it's also why we love the medium. Wright's elegant direction pumps the film's action scenes with well-earned adrenaline and the quieter moments brim with endearing character moments and humor. I honestly don't have much else I can squeeze into a mini-review other than to say my score for this may continue to rise on retrospection. One of the best of the year, no question.
3	yoohoo	95 _97th
Stylish as hell, this is sure to be the coolest movie of the summer. The killer soundtrack works so well with the characters and action on screen that it that it feels as if Wright wrote the movie around the music. A ton of fun and excellent performances all around.
3	Zarkon	83 _64th
Somewhat reminiscent of Pulp Fiction-era Tarantino in tone, it's a sharply edited movie with Wright's signature visual gimmicks and flourish, a great soundtrack, and a cast of larger-than-life characters butting heads with one another. Of course, it's not the most sophisticated movie you'll see this year, but it offers more substance than Scott Pilgrim (which I wasn't a fan of).
3	Bunyas	73 _70th
First half of the movie was a total blast! Second half though had almost lost me because of some narrative choices... Still i like it very much!
3	martryn	90 _93rd
My favorite (as of now) movie of 2017. The soundtrack is amazing, the action scenes are amazing, the characters are amazing. The way Wright integrated the soundtrack into the film was amazing. And I can't get Golden Earring's Radar Love out of my head. Which is amazing because it's been 4 months, and the song is amazing!
3	Anomaly	75 _59th
Hampered by a weak plot and having like five good endings where it doesn't end, Baby Driver is fun and serves as a great example of Wright's talent for editing. Detractor's claims that this film is an example of pretension fails a basic sniff test.
3	Ofterdingen	52 _37th
For a movie based on car chases, music and pure energy (even directed by Edgar Wright) very little works as one could expect. The protagonist being a smug idiot doesn't help either.
3	Zealot185	55 _34th
Having loved all of Edgar Wright's prior movies, I'm surprised at how under-whelmed I was at this one. While he nails the kinetic action scenes, I could not connect to the story or characters - perhaps too much time was spent in the editing room and not enough time on the script.
3	Obdurate	70 _40th
There's a lot to admire here: a particular scene later on when shit hits the fan is amazing, the way the events move to the music is lovely, the soundtrack is pretty good, and Spacey is doing it real good as usual. But this didn't hit me real hard... there's a huge lull at one point, I think the acting is sold but not exceptional, I didn't laugh much, and stylistically this comes across as mostly more normal than previous Wright material. Still good but I'm underwhelmed.
3	INDYATMN	77 _48th
Presumably the past 40+ years of music videos never occurred given all the love this is getting for Wright's decision to build an entire film around matching visuals to songs he really likes. While the ending does manage to surprise, it's hard not to notice early on that this is little more than a string of well-shot car chases strung together by paper-thin stock characters & dialogue that tries to ape Tarantino's criminal chit-chat, but fails to be anywhere near as amusing.
3	Beer94	77 _89th
So much hype for this film and it mostly delivered for me which is a rare treat. It's so stylish and meticulous with its editing and musicality and I love how we are all transported to Baby's world of choreographed movements. Loved it - probably the next big cult film.
3	nauru	30 _21st
Terrible lead actor ruins the film. The writing is not good and the action editing is way too fast, likely to hide poor choreography and lack of budget. However the supporting cast is so good this film should have been awesome anyway. Bernthal, Foxx, Hamm and Spacey are all fantastic; too bad they have so little screen time compared to the abysmal, miscast lead. The soundtrack is mostly a loud, grating distraction as well, but with more carsploitation/chases the film could have worked.
3	McJohnson	88 _91st
"Shop, let's talk it." Even though the ending is a bit touch-and-go to my taste, the rest of this caper careers along at a break-neck pace to the fantastic soundtrack. The way the visuals blend in with the music is superbly executed. Enjoyable to the max. Elgort is very good, Spacey is dependable as ever, Hamm and Foxx are stand-out. The writing is right on the money.
3	Okkervil	78 _79th
Intricately constructed, well performed, very stylish and plenty of fun. Personally I felt a little disconnected from the characters and thought it slowly declined after the first coffee dance, but I enjoyed it an awful lot.
3	Bown	81 _58th
Really really fun and well-made but Wright should never script solo
3	Judo Koala	73 _44th
Shockingly placid by Wright's standards, 'BD' is essentially nothing more than a few set pieces loosely connected by paper-thin narrative and characterization. Ironically, by taking a more self-serious route and losing much of Wright's former tongue-in-cheek sensibilities, the film ultimately feels as if it has far less heart, fun, and cinematic magic to it -- even though it works harder to imbue heart than anything Wright's yet done. Still fun with some smart editing, but underwhelming.
3	dunetails	90 _91st
Someone needs to give Edgar Wright a big budget movie because he's a real craftsman
3	aaasolanki	74 _36th
The reviews were rave for this one but I found it underwhelming. Make no mistake though. It is a decent movie but keep your expectations in check. I can see why the critics liked it. It has quite of that stuff that makes a movie classic. The car chase scenes reminded me of the game MFS Most Wanted on a couple of occasions.
3	whitejeft	80 _39th
it was really nice to see kevin spacey get run over with a car at the end of this film
3	Kingjohnbbq	91 _69th
I wouldn't say that this movie is necessarily original in the obvious sense, lots of reused tropes. I will say that its execution is original, everything makes sense, the action is solid, the relationship feels genuine, the conclusion is satisfying. The music used works throughout the film and amplifies every scene. Edgar Wright just keeps showing off why he is one of the most competent directors working today.
3	bentien	56 _44th
Would have been a great shot film, but as a feature the "car musical" style get tedious. Also, the dialogue is simply not good enough for a film that relies heavily on being Tarantino style cool.
3	PetrosTser	70 _66th
Edgar Wright strikes back and he's on fire! "Baby Driver" is two relentless hours of action and music, music and action: phenomenal chases, great soundtrack, very good cast (Jamie Foxx steals the show) and, as always, perfect sound and editing. It does not avoid certain clichés, with the love story especially being a little too fairytale-y for its own good, but remains a thrilling ride, particularly notable for marrying jaw-dropping action and feel-good musical vibes in a rare, organic way.
3	hellboy76	85 _96th
This is the movie equivalent of nailing that perfect playlist for that girl you haven't told you like yet. Dissected, it's got paper thin characters and seemingly cartoonish caricatures, but as a whole, the joyful experience of bopping along in perfect harmony overwhelms the senses at times. It's sort of hipster and goofy, but a little bit gangster at the same time. Truly an experience.
3	TrixRabbi	59 _14th
Good action, but the in-between is so dweeby I felt embarrassed.
3	guy piranha	65 _53rd
hard to rate on grounds of "classical" filmmaking, which it obviously isn't aiming for. it feels more like a feature film length trailer, due to the on beat choreography/editing and unrelenting pace. let's just say it's stylish as shit, thankfully self-aware of when it's in danger of getting tiresome. better forget about anything besides style, though, because coherency or character clearly took the back seat here.
3	Scorpus	76 _59th
Fast paced, fun, and well edited, Baby Driver is one of the more enjoyable heist films out there
3	bakcheia	82 _73rd
The snarky, bubble-gum chewing kid brother to Drive, but with far more comedic punch and lots of flair. This film has all the makings of becoming a cult classic, and Edgar Wright's idiosyncratic editing and style makes this pop off the screen with all the pulpiness and grit of a good graphic novel. The music truly propels this film forward, used in a multifaceted manner that seamlessly blends with plot beats, and always effectively sets the tone. The ending is rocky, but what a fun film!
3	mattorama12	68 _55th
Oozing with style and a lot of fun. Obviously the highlight is the music and how well it syncs with everything on screen. Wright's direction was characteristically light-hearted, which was great at parts but also conflicted with the tension of some of the scenes.
3	Barraoc	90 _95th
Baby Driver is a fantastic, engaging, toe-tapping, chase-tastic crime movie. I nearly broke a rib at the Michael Myers bit.
3	thuckabe	89 _77th
Good movie. The first 20 minutes we're masterful, and I can't help but feel things got progressively lazy after the coffee dance.
3	juntakinte99	49 _3rd
Not since The Guardians of the Galaxy have I seen a movie avoid a script by having its soundtrack do all its emotional heavy lifting. What's worse is that it is a basic Mo'Wax/Funk 45 Spotify playlist--from 15 years ago. Additionally the morals of the film are appalling as there're no repercussions to the violence and motivations of some characters. All that could be forgiven if the film didn't have a complete lack of joy and escapism. Avoid at all costs. My least favorite film of the year.
3	kjetting	94 _96th
It's like a perfect action comedy and a stylish music video had a baby and that baby grew up in a crazy neighborhood. Delivers on all fronts, with incredible choreography, stunts, acting and editing from all the accomplices. Beautiful!
3	JackRyan2014	80 _90th
Very inventive with a terrific soundtrack where the score is matched to action beats. All the secondary characters give good perfomances but the standouts are Jamie Foxx and Jon Hamm playing against type to great effect. Unfortunately the few times the film slows down and focuses on the main character Baby and love interest Deborah it almost stalls out. Thankfully the rest of the movie is exceptional.
3	The Beast	7 _75th
Foxx is underrated as always, fantastic in this role. Kevin Spacey delivers his signature fast talking deadpan character which once again fits him remarkably well. The rest of the cast is excellent, with the exceptions of Baby and Debora. Their romance was forced, had no chemistry and comes out of nowhere. No emotional investment. The 'musical' scenes (i.e. getting coffee) were laugh out loud, cringe worthy, high school film project level b-a-d. Nothing exceptional, but entertaining.
2	TheDiceman	55 _49th
Great until 2 thirds in then becomes rather silly.
2	cagedwisdom	50 _38th
Completely uninspired music choices. All you need is a killer track, too bad this doesn't have one. It's fine but I was disappointed.
2	Ytadel	7 _83rd
On any narrative level the film is shallow as a saucepan and not doing anything different than plenty of other heist/crime/car chase movies, but man... Edgar Wright can just make the hell out of a film. Dude's insanely talented. The kineticism and editing rhythms of this movie are endlessly thrilling.
2	easydiff	82 _90th
Every other movie that comes out in 2017 should start with a title card that reads "Sorry We're Not Baby Driver, Please Enjoy the Show"
2	twincinema	90 _92nd
Edgar Wright takes a step forward as a director and delivers a fantastic getaway SLASH musical. A film that I wanted to immediately go buy another ticket for when the credits started rolling.
2	bowfinger	25 _18th
Wow. This was boring. And the last act was super... corny and lazy and stupid... I'm lost for words.
2	frederic_g54	8 _77th
If this movie were a pimped out race car, its titular character would be the classic rock radio station blasting from its speakers, while the audience would be its unsuspecting passengers, unwittingly subjected to one hell of a ride. More than just a sublime rush of adrenaline, it is also a visual and vivid reminder of a bygone era when films this eccentric, daring and original were anything but unexpected. Good times guaranteed.
2	muutanet	88 _94th
Baby Driver was a fresh, new way to shoot Drive. This time there was a lot of music to rhythm the story. The mood and output was very different than in Drive. The first half was a baby version of the latter part. Baby grew up to the adult world. Lily James was a new, young Mädchen Amick. The others were mainly in supporting roles.
2	andayb	50 _27th
way, way overrated. it tries hard to be a "feel good" movie but the plot is skin deep, the execution favor the style over content way too much. the overuse is of soundtrack is cringeworthy. how they got to cast all these a-listers is beyond me. you could put them in a room and shoot their random banters, and it'd still be an interesting show. it wouldn't have car chases, but then again, fuck car chases.
2	Dean Franz	55 _48th
I really wish I hated this movie so I could write it off as "Fast and the Furious for hipsters" and be done with it, but unfortunately I found this midly amusing and appreciated the soundtrack and the craft (however empty) that went into it. Ansel Elgort needs to not be a thing though.
2	edkrak	25 _10th
Script is embarrassingly bad and so is musical-ish stylization. Some car chases are really good but it's nowhere near enough to save this mess. I'm starting to wonder if Wright is actually a talentless hack who can't make even a half-decent movie if there's no Pegg and Frost to save his ass.
2	Langelund (CinemaZone.dk)	90 _94th
Fast and the Furious 30.0 - and maybe the best car-driven movie ever. Every single turn of the wheels seems well-planned and on beat, and my guess is its following will only grow in the years to come.
2	sellis	84 _72nd
Edgar Wright has an OCD-like obsession with tying up loose ends. This is the source of the film's greatest strengths, but also what steers it into sentimentality at times. But all the characters are fresh and funny - especially Foxx and Don fucking Draper. Figures, it took a Brit to demonstrate the enigmatic presence of Hamm in cinematic form. And the chase scenes - top notch. The amount of cerebral sweat required by Wright cannot be understated. Not his best, but masterful nonetheless.
2	WWallce4prez	85 _87th
Baby driver oozes cool from every corner. Edgar Wright channels his best Soderbergh and creates a literal and figurative two hour dance on the screen. Wonderfully shot and probably the best time spent in the theater in 2017.
2	Stewball	90 _93rd
Not the masterpiece I was hoping for but outstanding nonetheless. Perfect casting and a superb use of music right down to the synchronized gunfights. The soft spot is the running out of steam at the ending.
2	walkearth	70 _81st
"Debora, always look like a Zeh-bora" - instant classic. The film is a breath of very fresh air, filled with thrill rides (literally), great, great soundtrack, solid and on-par performances and casting - especially Ansel Elgort - and overflowing with energy and charm. The action/dance/music sequences are memorable and beg to be rewatched. Edgar Wright is a man who loves what he's doing and we love him for it. Class. /c Empire London Haymarket
2	astrakhan	80 _74th
A slick, comic-book fantasy which is sure to be loved by today's younger demographic. As usual, Edgar Wright is both technically strong and inventive behind the camera, this time round ditching the video game overlays of Scott Pilgrim to focus on music and beats to define a new cinematic language. This language is underused - a shame since the other elements mainly rehash some tired Hollywood tropes. Good casting and visuals, but ultimately a disposable melée of cartoon characters and plotlines
2	omgfridge	8 _80th
You know in a few years time when this come son TV, you will watch it every time. Pacing perfection, has the popcorn moments, the boy, the girl and the music you buy the vinyl for. It's an absolute blast, don't miss it!
2	zspyry	6 _43rd
I found this to be tonally all over the place and the dialogue to be really hit and miss. Didn't buy the main actor either (a mix of Taron Egerton and Michael Cera). John Hamm was solid though. Overall a fun ride, with some nice chase scenes.
2	bing	70 _54th
Funnier Drive. Great characters and performances make up for (deliberately, I assume) derivative genre plot.
2	overrated	51 _50th
Didn't really care about any of the characters so there was more or less no tension.
2	Cinema_Asia	75 _71st
An interesting stylistic exercise intertwining action, drama, and making music a central character in the story. Ansel Elgort is perfectly likeable as the lead and the dialogue is quite funny. However, scene after scene of stylized over the top action does get exhausting. It seems the adhd nature of this film is designed to keep people entranced like some kind of pop culture strobe light. I also question the last third of the film and Hamm's relevance and miscasting in this type of role.
2	Velvet Crowe	70 _74th
Nice first 45 minutes but it loses momentum about halfway through with some crappy as hell storytelling and the action scenes losing the initial coolness of music-based action. Oh well.
2	AAAutin	63 _77th
I mean, it's no BABY BULLITT...
2	Syntheseizur	83 _75th
Wright's unmatched aptitude for frenetic pacing and rhythmically choreographed action has never had a better workout. At its best, it's giddy fun, and at its worst, it's still a solid post-modern heist movie, as much as it relies on the vocabulary of the genre. It's also an earnest and endearing romance finding the space between visceral thrills and smaller moments of calm tenderness. An adrenaline-fueled love letter to movies and music, yes, but also to the strength of simple human connection.
2	Matthew Parkinson (CineMarter)	80 _89th
Baby Driver is such a fun film. That's its strength, and it plays to it greatly. It's relatively long for its premise, but it doesn't feel like it. It's stylish, action-packed, and filled with interesting characters, some of which subvert the expected tropes while others play to them, almost knowingly. It may not be thematically rich, and it won't give you a ton to think about, but not all movies need to. Baby Driver is so entertaining that it gets away without doing so. [Full Review]

BD is like a beautifully decorated cake. A work of art, designed to impress; almost redefining the possibilities of combining a knockout soundtrack, great photography and some excellent action. The problem is when you actually cut into the cake its all a bit bland. Cal me old fashioned, but I go to the cinema for a great story, and hope it is augmented by sound, cinematography and editing, not to be "conned" by bells and whistles which hide how mundane and predictable the story actually was.
2	MontyCircus	60 _68th
Some fun to be had. But I didn't think it lived up to the critics' hype. It reminded me a bit of "Pulp Fiction", but with the dark edges of that one rounded and smoothed, with more of a light, comic feel. I wouldn't call it great, as I don't think any of the characters were very memorable, but I'd gladly see it again. Maybe my expectations were just set too high.
2	jesselc	50 _22nd
I love Edgar Wright but I don't get the hype for this movie. Predictable story, poorly fleshed out characters, average performances and the soundtrack ain't all that either.
2	natebarrios	70 _56th
docking points for the missed opportunity to lace an action scene with music from legendary Atlanta outfit, Outkast. Aside from that, Wright has constructed a finely tuned, high-spirited heist film with this generation's greatest car setpieces to date. It has personality, humor, thrills, romance, sweet sweet music, and I just saved 15% on car insurance by switching to Geico.
2	Seethruskin	4 _52nd
I had a friend describe Drive as "pop culture osmosis gone mad" and I think that fits here even more. Its clearly indebted to the 90s indie scene stylistically and tonally. I'd maybe compare this to Something Wild, but really it's just Drive made by the guy who directed Scott Pilgrim. Probably my favourite Wright film so far. It's one of his few films where his style doesn't feel annoying.
2	future42	45 _92nd
Fantastic film. Vibes of drive, Edgar Wright's fantastic style, great acting, and an overall joy to watch. A bit darker and less humorous than Wright's previous work.
2	thorn969	77 _77th
Cute, fun, action-packed... a nice summer fantasy with a great soundtrack.
2	hotsake	66 _65th
The car chase scenes were pretty awesome but the Romance sequences left a lot to be desired. Ansel Elgort was really the only questionable actor in a film that I'd say has pretty solid acting. The first half is definitely better than the second.
2	LookJabba...	9 _91st
Baby Driver is a thoroughly enjoyable cinematic experience and it will prove to be one of my favourite films of 2017. Edgar Wright is an extraordinary filmmaker and every single shot and cut is meticulously placed. The cinematography and editing is ridiculously impressive and the unusually varied soundtrack is perfect throughout. Ansel Elgort gives both a dramatic and physically well choreographed performance and Kevin Spacey, Jamie Foxx & Jon Hamm are the standouts of a fun supporting cast.
2	Fuentissimo	76 _93rd
Loved it! The romance angle was my favorite. Spacey, Foxx and Hamm were underwhelming to me, but you're not really rooting for them. Awesome direction by Wright, and great camerawork. Love how he makes the music integral to the film.
2	Triptolemos	35 _29th
Which fast and furious movie was this? Only thing this had going for it was the music syncing with the action which is a gimmick that played out real quick and wasn't all too impressive to begin with. Lazy plot with every Hollywood stereotype crammed into it (including the "we're crazy in love after knowing each other for a week"-arc). Characters were dull and predictable having questionable motifs just to keep the movie going. At least Jamie gave me a couple of laughs
2	JSchlansky	82 _82nd
Uses music wonderfully and impressively. Great performances and interesting characters make the very unoriginal plot work extraordinarily well. Top notch stunt driving. Video review: https://youtu.be/EI5OOXmpspw
2	amazedemon	67 _75th
Baby Driver is a well-constructed film that pairs an energetic soundtrack with exhilarating chase scenes. The dialogue is snappy, which aids in maintaining a pace that matches the driving. The acting is good, but all the characters lack depth and adhere too closely to stereotypes. The worst example of this is Spacey's final scene. Thrilling and fun, but the film lacks any deeper substance.
2	Corbad	65 _43rd
The only relationship that really resonated of the many that were meant to mean something in the film was between Baby and his foster father; the rest fell flat and, as they were meant to carry much of the plot, the plot also fell. Much of the cinematography was fluid and pretty, the first car chase was incredible, but these elements were, in the end, let down.
2	thunderPIN	80 _68th
Edgar Wright serves up another dish of enjoyable entertainment. The cast is colorful, charismatic and the story has its very clever moments just like his previous works of art. Right away you will detect that the soundtrack really drives this film and you'll feel the rhythm as everything unfolds. This crime thriller is one you don't want to miss. Plug in your earbuds and enjoy the ride! 4 STARS
2	arcticricard	80 _76th
Worth it only to see Kevin Spacey say "Bananas".
2	oznyilmaz	75 _65th
Great soundtrack. Definitely worth to watch. Very entertaining.
2	Xenophule	11 _98th
Watch: Theater not required, but not one to miss. \| You remember in Shaun of the Dead where Queen was playing on the jukebox and the whole scene was choreographed to it and it was fun and awesome? That's all of Baby Driver. Heist movie where every gunshot, footstep, alarm, and breath is synchronized to the soundtrack backed by strong characters and an expert eye behind the camera. One to watch more than once.
2	Pfightmaster	85 _89th
Almost perfect chase- and heist-movie with brilliant direction and editing and a really good cast.
1	SlrSoapbox	90 _92nd
Incredibly stylish and fun. Loved all the subtle audio tricks, the awesome editing & pacing, and the suspenseful story.
1	Kavu	94 _98th
Very close to being Wright's best. The most rhytmic movie I've ever seen. Stylish, well written.
1	timmo	95 _88th
Style over substance pushed to the max, with a story that's secondary to the most kinetic and exhilarating chase film ever made. That's not to say the story isn't engrossing (it is), but that the care with which everything was produced is so strong. See this movie.
1	driscarpin	80 _65th
Se todo cinema mainstream fosse divertido assim...
1	Difontaine	90 _96th
Wow. The music, the driving, the two young leads, the experience of the supporting cast. Really enjoyed it.
1	Carlospro	80 _81st
divertido
1	amerigo	66 _14th
So I guess Wright read Ishmael Reed for the first time and decided to make a musical-cum-car-commercial to mesmerize all the retro-cool hipsters with well-orchestrated high-end music-video cinematography. Guess it worked.
1	msprague	80 _85th
Good cast, many squealing tires. It's got a good beat and it's easy to dance to.
1	Duder	65 _59th
* This one is an editing master class. Very well executed film, with great acting, direction and cinematograph, although the plot.. Well, it's not bad, but I don't know. It does show that Wright can easily go out of straight comedy and do dramatic work with ease and skill. Quite good a film.
1	Age Jellema	80 _83rd
Mooie, snelle, actie film met interessante karakters. Foxx was sterk als ook Elgort. Jon Hamm was een miscast. Laatste half uur net wat te lang.
1	ChrisPalm	78 _70th
Disappointed. By no means a bad movie, just never really kicked off for me
1	Vandelay1	73 _83rd
good movie
1	Timon88	68 _63rd
"What the fuck did you do?" "I moved." Silly fun, with a lot of fun-to-watch actors.
1	zwyk	50 _18th
All its narrative merits come from being pure fiction. Technically it's also an interesting work. But, still, personally, it created no particular empathy towards the story.
1	chemical404	58 _54th
Honestly, shitty title for a movie. It's worth seeing on a big screen with good sound, because it's this kind of 'cinema' entertainment. Something like a cross of Drive (cool, silent protagonist who's good at driving cars) and GTA games (overall plot and style seems to borrow quite a bit from video games) for teenagers. Music is really important for this film, as it's sort of action musical, but IMO song selection is mediocre. OK, but nothing special.
1	syntaxerror	8 _38th
A great action film with great focus on audio synchronization. Nothing more, nothing less.
1	HyphenateMe	80 _85th
I made the mistake of trying to eat dinner while I watched this movie and my dinner got cold because I had to keep focused on the screen, but also because it was a charcuterie board and was not warm to begin with. Stylish, focused story, always something happening on screen, plus it had a deaf old man, which is neat. Def. in my DCEU top 10.
1	jordanlige	100 _51st
awesome car chase movie and really well done
1	CosmicMonkey	78 _58th
A series of spectacular action set pieces that rank among the best chase scenes ever put on film, but are strung together with a mediocre script and a cast of characters who are mostly all underdeveloped. I loved the editing, choreography, effects and technical aspects, and for sure this is a film that will be shown in film schools around the world, but the lack of interesting story and characters holds it back from being truly great.
1	ABUNCHOFCATS	89 _81st
Excellent soundtrack, great performances and extremely fun.
1	CRAYON	88 _77th
This was a really fun movie. I thought that the use of sound and music was top notch and really pulled me into the film from the opening sequence. The characters kept me engaged and wanting to see what ultimately would happen to them.
1	snbutler	62 _29th
Enjoyable but ultimately rather thin. Lily James' Debra is embarrassingly one-dimensional and a series of rapid-fire plot contrivances in the final third stretch credulity almost to breaking point before the ending descends into a bit of a mess. However, the opening scene, choreography, and editing are all top notch, as can be expected from Wright, and the dialogue has its moments, if inconsistently.
1	mwgerb	78 _93rd
One of Edgar Wright's greatest achievements, which easily puts it among the top tier of movies. Perfectly edited and acted, with a soundtrack and sound mixing that is unparalleled. An all-time great action movie. I think people wanted to stop talking about this once Kevin Spacey's molestations came out, but hopefully it can be fully appreciated. Everything Drive was supposed to be.
1	Dunder74	7 _68th
wright's weakest in all regards. pulled me in but never fully captivated my attention. co-stars are spectacular.
1	Guillaume	75 _59th
Starting off with a really strong chase scene, leading up to some "video clip" scenes for a diversity of songs, it's not your run-of-the-mill action movie. Or so it seems at first. I found myself feeling all of the characters, and the plot, to be highly predictable, checking all Hollywood boxes, while leaving only some wiggle room for properly interesting (Tarantinoesque) scenes. The backstories are horrendously bad, but the chemistry between all characters is nicely done and never really fails.
1	mrandersen10	80 _77th
Lives up to the hype! One of the best movies of the year, if not the best. An absolute joy from start to finish. Everyone nails their respective roles and the stunts are exhilarating--no green screen here. The humor is on point, and the romance felt genuine. It's fresh and original in a landscape filled with stale reboots and sequels. Loved it.
1	shalev	72 _17th
Apart from some decent chase scenes, this was just riddled with cliches, plot holes, and bad acting.
1	mandy	7 _73rd
A sharp and stylish heist movie with a likeable, cool central character and an original, captivating use of soundtrack.
1	misterlizard	90 _96th
Paper-thin plot and characters, but who cares when every actor is giving it 100%? Wright directs this with his characteristic style and attention to detail that ensures every frame is a work of art. Do you want to watch immaculately constructed chase scenes timed to perfection with the sounds of Radar Love, Hocus Pocus, and Brighton Rock? Yes. Yes, you do. Watch this and fall in love with it.
1	closedmouth	60 _20th
There's two actual car chases in this movie, they both happen in the first act, and all the best moments from them were in the trailer. And they're surprisingly visually confusing. So that was a bit disappointing. My favourite part was actually the initial flirtation and romance between Elgort and James; they have good chemistry and their dialogue is fresh. Gets really grim and boring in the second half though. And there are no car chases.
1	jlewis	88 _66th
Nice enough, but simple plot didn't make me super happy
1	Jerky	60 _72nd
This is Edgar Wright's weakest film, but with that being said, it's still better than a lot of director's best works. It's a shame that he doesn't get more opportunities in Hollywood. I'm still miffed about him never getting to make his version of Ant-Man.
1	glumpy_99	52 _11th
Haphazard gangster film born from the post-Tarantino explosion of the late 90s, but mixed with an even more 'modern' self referential style of film-making (Baby's iPod buds feel like a tip of the hat to GOTG.) With director Wright at the helm, this should have been more successful, but the film is too relentlessly obsessed with self-indulgent digressions and dialogue to be moving or involving in any meaningful way. Terrific chase scenes, and an inspired HALLOWEEN gag, are saving graces.
1	Darren	71 _57th
This was fun if the definition of the word even matters anymore wrt cinema. It gets long at the end b/c of the whole Jon Hamm thing. It's definitely made for this generation of movie watchers

1	damil	75 _81st
Wright's direction was great. The cast is really good, besides Foxx, but I just don't like him as an actor, period. Elgort was excellent, and I really enjoyed Hamm's performance, too. There were some cool twists in terms of the characters, actually. The one weak link is James' character, though. She's simply the lead's object of desire, which was a little disappointing. Awesome action scenes, very cool soundtrack and some funny moments, though not nearly as many as I would've liked
1	ericambler	87 _92nd
BABY DRIVER pursues the fantasy of glamorous criminality to a more sobering end, centered on a young getaway driver who quickly wakes up to the terrifying reality of his world. It's baby DRIVE, basically, if that movie starred an endearing cheeseball with a flair for the balletic. Writer-director Edgar Wright exhibits his gift for slick dialogue and humane wit, while adding a truly innovative approach to sound (and soundtrack) design for a blockbuster action flick.
1	TheDailyNathan	72 _35th
The movie has good style to start off - almost all the characters are well-developed and interesting when introduced, and there is a fun, entertaining flourish to the chase scenes and soundtrack. However, the characters kind of go off the rails in the second act - almost none of them behave in a consistent manner and ends up feeling very forgettable by the end.
1	Hofschneider	75 _46th
"Trex.... You mean T-Rex?". An asshole filmmaker would've put this precious joke into the mouth of male character. But not Edgar Wright, who is able to even collect some arguments for the Bechtel test hearing. But other than that, what can you say that hasn't been said already. Wright is here to save us once more from ourselves. BD is another sense boggling trip into this satisfying feeling what movies can be. After 2 hours full of joy, drive, good casting and - of course - sound.
1	chmul_cr0n	85 _96th
Action: check Romance: check Suspense: check Music: check Very very awesome. Surprisingly gritty at times. Expected a comedy. Got this. Very pleased.
1	bof	70 _59th
Not as witty and joke-a-minute as Wright's early stuff, and there are probably other directors who could make this car ballet look more stylish or his characters more lasting. But there's not a dull second, every beat is right on the beat, and you'll walk out feeling like a hero just for putting your headphones in. Groovy.
1	myfavchords	78 _69th
In another summer full of remakes and sequels Baby Driver is a a well made original film. There are some exciting car scenes and the soundtrack plays a big role in the film. The film has a nice ensemble cast and they work well together. Overall I would recommend this film.
1	The Pirate	87 _86th
Now THAT's how you use a soundtrack!
1	Lightning17	79 _84th
Innovative and energetic, Baby Driver is a car chase adventure with excellent production, style, and vision that helps it rise above its genre.

Drive: The Musical
1	magdabag	94 _92nd
One of my favorite movies of 2017 for sure. Acting was all good, along with writing AND soundtrack. A very well-made movie.
1	FoxyRussian	95 _90th
The way music is edited into the movie's action so perfectly makes this movie a work of art. It's pure editing porn with slick action scenes and great characters. Each one is unique and complex and fun to watch. Amazing movie.
1	anomie	75 _42nd
Not Wright's most effective picture, but with tons of great characters and fun to be had, worth seeing once.
1	PUNQ	60 _89th
Baby Driver (2017) is basically a remake of Drive (2011), with pretty much/almost the same lead character, soundtrack driven semi-mute atmosphere violence, killer type deal with a fetish for driving.
1	PluggedIN	20 _12th
Baby Driver has gotten some critical acclaim, and I get why. But what makes this movie fun isn't what makes it rated R. And what earns this thriller its R isn't all that fun. Sure, the flick's all about pressing the gas. But it also makes me wish they would've applied the brakes a lot more in some areas.
1	KenMeisters	82 _88th
Vastly entertaining and cleverly cut. I have always dreamed of a movie that uses the soundtrack like this one does. Good characters, but the female ones do not have an agenda of their own.
1	Bearacuda	4 _0th
So gert. Phenom. +Apples+
1	whotemp	83 _70th
Baby Driver the musical was fantastic. Exquisite taste in music, which was alone well worth the cost of admission. One gripe I hand is that the car tricks started out stronger than it ended. I guess it reflects his passion for it. But yes, overall sharp and stylish! I only wish they had a partner dance scene!
1	philamental	58 _31st
I gave this a score of 78 originally as I wanted to like it despite its flaws. I've rewatched it twice since and it's gotten worse each time with the flaws getting standing out more and more. I still like the overall concept but so much of the end product is undercooked. Some of the performances are great and the direction is slick, but Elgort is anemic and unlikable as a lead and the soundtrack is frequently underwhelming despite it's importance.
1	BadFurDay	7 _74th
Solid movie, amazing use of music. Some of the plot and action were a little bit too over the top, especially in the last act, but not always in a bad way. It's one of those movies that almost everyone who watches will enjoy.
1	mooper	70 _54th
More serious than the usual Edgar Wright, but still has it's comedic moments and direction. Biggest issue is the main character - he's not really notable at all and mostly acts as a background prop, which Edgar tries to counteract with romance and sad origin story, but it doesn't really work for me. It's not a bad movie, but it could be better.
1	Kmilchev1	80 _82nd
B-A-B-Y BABY!
1	VorpalKitten	90 _87th
Great movie with some awesome car action scenes, some awesome walking scenes, some awesome talking scenes. Wright's direction and editing is amazing as ever. Liked it more the second time because there's so much going on in every frame.

Edgard Wright is a Genius! I can't get enough of his work. Loved the humor, the romance and the car chases. Great stunt work. A little bit of Scott Pilgrim feelings, but it is not a bad thing. I hope he continues to create nice things like this. BTW, John Hamm is great!
1	afifchoirul	85 _61st
I knew that Edgar Wright is great. He has so much more to come. This is one great action movie. FUN.
1	Ippei	80 _86th
From the tense and exciting action sequences to the performances to the slick filmmaking to the excellent soundtrack. This hits all the right notes and makes for one helluva good time. Sure, it's not perfect. The script and story have some flaws but it's constructed and executed so well, you won't care. Believe the hype and go check this one out. You won't regret it.

Put this Baby in the corner.
1	Errol246	3 _24th
I enjoyed it for what it was. Starts out with a simple and engaging plot but falls apart near the middle and crumbles at the end. It really tries hard to be a stylish action film with a heartfelt story, but turns out just to be a style-over-substance action film. If you're just watching it for the hell of it then you'll have fun, but don't go into this expecting the world because Baby Driver is a bumpy ride.

beyond childish
1	BlakeEngel	7 _22nd
On first viewing, the car chases and action are riveting. On second viewing, the characters reveal themselves to be pretty thin and the use of music to be nothing too special. Baby was supposed to "use" music to be a better driver, as if the soundtrack activates his abilities. But really it's just an excuse to have a cool soundtrack. This is certainly a fun movie, with two fantastic car chases, but it doesn't live up to the opening chase and the characters are not as good as Wright's previous.
1	Zangin	50 _20th
A film of half measures. It half commits to the music shtick, has half a serious tone, and has only half motivated characters. The film has a great setup, only to be let down by a disappointing and meandering second half. So, I give this film half a perfect score.
1	kito1	40 _10th
Tries to be funny, cool and intense but fails at everything. Lacking true spirit, instead just has a weird music gimmick.
1	senolatnap	60 _40th
Thought I saw this described as Wright's passion project that he's been chasing his whole career. Which is strange because it seems like his least Wright-like feature, a watered-down action comedy that under-delivers on both fronts. Not a bad movie but a pretty mild entertainment all around and not a patch on the Pegg/Frost films.
1	SageSledge	100 _91st
More highly choreographed dance than action thriller, more musical than heist film, and more spectacular than anyone could have ever imagined, "Baby Driver" is what I like to call a passive masterpiece, a film that does everything right for so long that you almost forget that poorly shot, shoddily made films exist, get lost in its spectacular world, and find more to love long after you've left the theatre. Witty, exciting, functionally perfect, and beyond awesome. What a rush.
1	buffratings	92 _88th
With satisfying performances and a killer soundtrack, Baby Driver is yet another kinetic, fast-paced classic from Edgar Wright.
1	NickTheo	80 _67th
Despite its cliches,Baby Driver delivers a fun and stylistically brilliant ride with Wright's direction and the great performances elevating the otherwise mediocre story and characters.The music choices are also perfect.
1	em0nster	92 _96th
It was great fun. I just wish for more character development and maybe a little bit more story.
1	dinomite00	19 _81st
Baby Driver is Edgar Wrights best film. No questions. The movie is notable for its beautiful blend of great acting and writing which is done with an artistic flare rare in Hollywood.
1	jordanraiden	16 _77th
8/8
1	SeaSnek	86 _58th
Innovated and fantastic in every technical side of filmmaking. However, when the day was over, I barely could remember anything. I stopped to realize Baby did not go through any growth and the retro sexism was not pleasing to watch at all. Everything else was a wild time but a one-time experience to learn from in every technical aspect.
1	larmor	34 _19th
Very thin and, in the end, very stereotypical. Tries so hard to be memetic potential sometimes.
1	paganodds	80 _71st
While the story was almost minimal for the sake of supplying a basis for all the high paced action throughout the rest of the movie, Baby Driver is a masterclass in editing, cinematography, and really using a soundtrack to it's full potential.
1	peyrin	75 _69th
This is about 3 things - money, sex, drugs, and action.
1	beardobaldo	90 _82nd
This is what great film-making looks like. Every shot is intentional. Every cut is paired with the song. I've never been more entertained when there is no action going on.
1	vv238	62 _65th
On second watch, clear deficiencies with this film started to show up. I can still safely call it a solid film as it's got style for days but there are some serious problems with the script, it loses momentum far too often, and many of the characters are stolen from Tarantino's garbage bin. Edgar Wright still manages to keep it all together with his mastery of music, editing, and camerawork but this is lacking that sharp and thoughtful pen that many of his other films have.
1	favery	40 _20th
Essentially a well-edited, two-hour long music video.
