Baby Driver, to me, was phenomenal. This movie had a great soundtrack, with a compelling storyline, interesting characters, and great casting. Throughout pretty much the whole movie, there is music playing. The protagonist, Baby, has a condition where his ears ring all the time due to a childhood accident. He combats this by listening to music on headphones all the time, and that is why there is so much music during the movie. The 3 other heist people are all interesting in themselves, but Jamie Foxx's role stands out the most. He plays a loose-cannon of a person, and his acting really shines as he easily embodies the role he is put into. I also really liked the deaf guy who Baby is taking care of as I felt like he was really sweet and gave the story some warmth. Moving onto the storyline, I never once felt bored or like what was happening was straying too far from the main idea of the movie. It is a "one last time" film and though sometimes the story felt a little cliche, it felt like a classic the way it was executed. The car chases were SO good, and felt like miniature musical numbers with the sick soundtrack. The action is brutal, but not overdone which I think is important as movies with tons of gory violence feel fake and like a video game. I honestly have no real critiques of this movie other than I felt like Baby's boss' motives were not clear. He said no to giving him back his music tapes, and then changed his mind and took a bullet for him within a couple minutes? Not sure what happened there. Overall, great movie 9/10
