Just watched it, my thoughts: pretty solid first hour and a bit then messy & predictable and nonsensical, plus a fucking awful ending. |

Haven't seen it. Oh, Edgar Wright. I wonder if he has full creative control over in the states. |

For much of it, it felt like a mid-90s Tarantino was providing the template. |

I thought it was a lot of fun and technically very impressive, must've taken forever to choreograph certain bits to the music. It did lack the emotion of other wright movies though which always feels very honest and earned and you're right that it was predictable. Maybe that's because of the breezy hollywood heroism baby was an emulation of though? I'll give it another watch. |

Yeah the first half was fun and beautifully choreographed — driving scenes were nice, basically rally driving in an urban setting but satisfying. It was with the introduction of the Jamie Foxx character and then his second stint that it fell apart for me — his character made no sense, spoke utter shit, made ridiculous decisions, which directly took the film to its nonsense final heist and its deeply terrible follow-up. Also the waitress seemed incredibly quick to be 100% wooed by the protagonist, bit outdated in this day and age. |

Yeah foxx is the weak link for me too. It's like he's from a completely different movie |
