Baby Driver – 5.5

This seems to be the buzz-generator of early summer, but that speaks more to the paucity of good movies than BD’s merits. Anson Elgort’s moves and cool are appealing, and Jamie Foxx and Jon Hamm are wonderfully scary bad guys, but that’s about it. The soundtrack is loud and unrelenting but doesn’t make much sense, the car chases are repetitive and hardly intellectual, the Atlanta setting is devoid of visual interest, the romance is cliched and predictable, and the plot is slightly less realistic than Wonder Woman.
