Re: "Baby Driver"
Yeah, Jon Bernthal is getting into some really good films. I don't know if I liked Wind River more than Baby Driver or not. I know that I haven't scored Wind River yet, but I gave Baby Driver a 90. That score will probably drop over time as the effect of the film wears off, so I guess Wind River will have a longer lasting impact on me. I certainly won't be forgetting it. Damn, that movie is not a happy film. I saw it two months ago and I still don't feel comfortable scoring it.

But man what a stinker it turned out to be. The lead actor was so bad he single-handedly ruined every scene he was in (and he was in far too many). So many useless/filler scenes with no cars, no action, just a bad actor drawing out the runtime. He was actually even worse than the lead actor from Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, and that's saying something. Mind you the rest of the cast was mostly excellent in Baby Driver, especially Jon Bernthal, Jon Hamm and Jamie Foxx (Spacey was decent too). But they have so little screen time relative to the lead that even four of Hollywood's most bankable actors combined couldn't save this picture. The action choreography was terrible too, in my opinion, with the budget obviously far too small for production team's ambitions. All the action sequences look like they were pared down at the last minute to save cash. So many cuts in the chase sequences you can't even really tell what's going on, likely to hide the fact that there actually isn't much going on. And then the mostly terrible music was the cherry on top of this turd sundae.
I suppose I should acknowledge that the trailer was very well done, as it successfully conned me into watching this trash in theatres when I couldn't find a non-3D evening showing of Wonder Woman.
OK, like I said before, Ansel Elgort is no Steve McQueen, but you've way overstated your case. The non-special effects driving sequences were outstanding, and you really lost all credibility by criticizing the music--not to mention mentioning Wonder Woman (zzzz) in any way favorably in comparison to this. (Choreography?...really???)
