baby driver

[IMDB] [Amazon]

i dunno, i like a good vehicular stunt.  did i like these?  well...sort of?  it was all very stylized, which i think was part of the point, but it made it very difficult to just enjoy watching people push vehicles to the limits.  not that you get to see a lot of that these days, what with all the effects and such.  remember bullit?  man, *that* was a car chase.

the truth of it is that, just like any skilled person, a good driver makes it look easy.  but that does not generally make for exciting cinema, so instead we get baby driver, a film which lays the style on so thick that it becomes a substitute for the substance which is otherwise lacking.

i am sorry, i got all pretentious there.  what i mean is that baby driver is popcorn.  lots of fun, goes down easy, ultimately kills you.  so lay off the butter already, and eat your vegetables.

baby driver gets two pairs of fancy glasses that look so awkward you might as well have just worn a mask.
