"Baby Driver" is a generic heist action flick synched to the main character's iPod playlist. There could be more substance, but the sharp visuals and flawless direction are enough to deliver some solid entertainment.
The script is Edgar Wright's first effort as a solo writer, and unfortunately, it felt a bit too simplistic and lackluster compared to his other productions. Characters are as memorable as they are cartoony, their backstories. Their motivations and personal relationships get hardly explored, and there are a bit too many contrived plot points towards the end. Due to the film's hybrid nature, it's not clear if we are supposed to think of it as a regular action film or just a parody of the genre.
Nevertheless, it's an excellent film for a casual, relaxed evening, with some surprisingly thrilling car chases and action sequences for a comedy director.
