It’s just a highly entertaining film, nothing more

The impression that the movie has established is that it is said that it is robbing the bank, but it focuses on the "most inconspicuous" character Driver in the four-person group; it is said that it is a drag racing scene, but in fact, because of the music element, the excitement of drag racing has been lost. Diluted... It's hard to say whether this kind of blending is a success, because it does look fresh and exciting. But I think it is quite insufficient in either aspect alone.

If I watch it for the sake of listening to songs, although the music is very full, in fact, except for two or three songs with strong plot connections such as "Bell Bottoms" and "Tequila", none of them are not compromised by environmental sound and later stages, so what can I say? What about Amway?

On the main line, the movie tries to make us focus on the core conflict of the baby itself, so it has established a conflict mode between drag racing gunfight gangster vs love family music. Wright did not give this conflict a strong convincing power. That is, when I am immersed in the love of the heroine and the heroine, I cannot feel the inevitability of the heroine being involved in the dispute. Setting the male protagonist in the inappropriate place of "the end of the post office robbery" is abrupt and clumsy. Perhaps it is the reason why typology/anti-typology thinking comes first, and many plots are just set up for setting.

Wright gave up almost any possibility in the depth of this story. This movie brings together the two stars of Kevin Spacey and Jamie Foxx. We can hardly see the space for actors to play. The tension of human nature is a neglected part, and the motivation of the characters is not complete. The last paragraph of Kevin Spacey, although superficially brilliant, the golden sentence "I have loved" is 666. Although this is unexpected, this reversal has dismantled the most critical part of the actor's baby character: what is he? Is it true kindness, or a slave of affection. And this made his love no longer convincing.

This movie has the editing, action arrangement, and flowing long mirrors that are consistent with the music beat. The whole mix of various types of elements, plus what Kubrick expressions, etc. may or may not pay tribute to the stem, let us have Feel Wright's existing style and anti-type stuff. Wright's music tastes are also varied, such as folk songs, jazz, and heavy metal, but it is suitable to buy an original soundtrack for loop playback.

However, these make it look like only a young and highly entertaining film. To a certain extent, it is indeed very novel.

    I can’t get the beauty of lily james. Maybe my aesthetic is too straight. I just think that darling is so beautiful that it is unforgettable. The whole story collapses at the end and makes people unable to praise. Isn’t this kind of film supposed to let the bad guys get away with it? How did it become an educational film for teenagers to correct evil and return to righteousness? Where is the point? After ps ost burned, directors who couldn't make a good film all took the sountrack route and got at hoyts sylviapark.
