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.
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
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.
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.
the movie is great and the story is not the best but it is good and obviously the best thing about the movie are the maneuvers that the pilot does in the Subaru
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
The parts where the scenes matched the tempo and rhythm of the music were pretty great and fun. Acting was also pretty great but unfortunately this movie lacks some better idea's in regards to the plot and at the halfway it felt way too forced without any reason. It had pretty decent action scenes but the romance parts were unnecessary and subpar. Pretty decent but not even close to one of his best.
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.
Un film branchouille qui se la joue cool, presque une "comédie musicale" avec des flingues et des bagnoles... et une publicité ambulante pour l'ipod (mais qui utilise un truc pareil, sans déconner ?). Presque une "comédie musicale", oui presque, car si personne ne chante dedans, le film entier est un festival de chansons et le leitmotiv bien entendu du personnage principal, conducteur autiste mi-rain man mi-kévin.
La 'chance aux chansons' donc (!), des mélopées ringardes à s'ouvrir les veines, de la musique de merde non-stop : putain, j'ai les oreilles qui saignent ! surtout qu'elle gueule à qui mieux mieux et qu'il est rare dans le film de ne pas entendre cette chiasse à longueur de plans. C'est là un défaut totalement rédhibitoire.
Pour le reste, à savoir la cool attitude de notre autiste du volant, ses antécédents gnangnans, son amourette avec la serveuse planplan, on s'en bat les steaks en force et je reste poli. C'est une histoire tirée d'un Kinder Surprise pleine de caricatures ambulantes avec des relents tarantineux nauséabonds.
Le film n'est pas un désastre pour autant, grâce à de belles poursuites en voiture et quelques fusillades, plus une poursuite à pied bien fichue en bonus. La réalisation est dans l'ensemble correcte, parfois presque agréable, d'autres fois un tantinet suspecte mais ç'aurait pu être pire, alors on ne fera pas la fine bouche plus que nécessaire.
A part un trou d'air dans le premier tiers, le rythme sait ensuite rester soutenu jusqu'à la fin avec quelques doses de grand spectacle. La fin qui s'avère tout aussi gnangnan que Baby kévin et sa greluche d'ailleurs. Si on pouvait mettre la musique en sourdine, ce serait un divertissement presque présentable (bien que visant clairement un public ado kikoo lolilol) mais en l'état, Baby ipod nous les casse un peu trop pour qu'on passe l'éponge.
