As far as movies this summer, pickings have been slim unless you want to see comic book heroes and kid's flicks. Guess that's not unusual for the summer.
I saw the previews for Baby Driver and pretty much immediately dismissed the movie. Then I read the reviews on Rotten Tomatoes - 98% positive for reviewers and 92% positive from users. I then figured it was worth taking a look.
I invited my wife to join me and she looked at me like I was crazy. I told her about the reviews and she said OK, bit with a little hesitation. So, we head off to the theater.
I have to tell you that this was a great movie - action packed but with some interesting character development. Baby Driver is a young man who drives get away cars for robberies cooked up by the " criminal mastermind" Kevin Spacey. Spacey was great in this role.
Jamie Foxx plays a robber as does John Hamm. Ansel Egort plays the role of Baby and Lily James is his girl friend.
This movie moved fast and was never boring - easily passed my watch test - I never checked the time at all.
As we were walking out of the theater my wife commented that she thought the movie could be a cult classic. Honestly, the same thought was going through my mind as she spoke the words.
Baby Driver is definitely worth checking out in my opinion.
Edit - almost forgot - super sound track as pop music is a primary theme in the movie.
