I'm a sucker for the goofy tape editing scene ("was he slow..sl-sl-slow?")

I realise now that I've been mentally conflating this film and Drive into one not very good movie, maybe because I saw them both on planes. Also because they're both shite.

Baby Driver was a fine holiday weekend watch seven years ago, had no need to watch it again except for the opening scene, which I teach as an example of modern sound design + editing. Nothing loathsome about it except for the chicken hawk + twink subtext.

This and Hell Or High Water are shining examples of the new subgenre of "Post-Concealed Carry Heist Films"

A marginally less shitty version of this movie is where that guy was working for another criminal organization who were laundering money at that bank and Spacey & Crew have to survive pissing off Los Zetas or something.

hell or high water is a great movie tho, especially if you go in with the correct attitude "this is a real potluck vhs rental type movie"

This entire film was predicated on Wright having heard that one cool drum break in "Bellbottoms" and wanting to make a movie with a car chase scene with that in it. And it has about as much content as that premise allows.

I loved Baby Driver & it made me cry!
The premise that as fast as you run, you can never run away from yourself & wherever you go, there you are was meaningful to me, hit me pretty hard for a high adrenaline popcorn movie
John Waters loved it too
The one thing I didn't like - some of the "good" song choices are a little heavy handed
Remember thinking, based on some of the song choices, 'I'll bet the director is a huge Sparks fan' whadda ya know
I have not enjoyed any of his other movies oh well.
