I will be seeing this in the theaters once again when it opens, and I very rarely watch movies more than once. I was lucky enough to see this at an early screening in Denver. And the other leading lady, Eiza Gonzalez, was unknown to me, but she was great with one terrific diner speech in particular. I think Ansel was a standout, but come on Jamie Foxx, Spacey, Hamm and the beautiful Lily James. And oh what a cast! Loved every one of the leads performances. Humor, what can I say, love Edgar Wright's humor and this is his best. You will be truly on the edge of your seat during much of the film. Action best pure adrenaline action in years. This is more in line with Bullit,French Connection, and the Italian Job films as far as great chases.
I have not been a fan of Fast and Furious films, but the chase scenes in this film run circles around that series if a certain reality of the moves matters to you. This is the movie you remembered.Įverything about the film is pretty much pitch perfect if you ask me. It's got great music and great cars that dance, and actors who behave like Steve MacQueen, and Kevin Spacey shoots the really bad guys - not the bank robbers, those are the heroes, but the really bad guys, and says "I was in love once." Edgar Wright - whom I know from the movies he directed Simon Pegg in - has directed a gangster-car-chase-teen-love movie that does what Justin Lin, Guy Ritchie and those other hot directors tried to do, but could not. It's not the movie you saw, it's the movie you remembered. And as you sat through it for the second time, you wondered "What happened to the movie I saw when I was a kid? This is nothing at all like it! The lines are stupid, the music is lame and the actors are gargoyles! What happened to it?" This is that movie. Remember that movie you saw when you were a kid, and loved it? Loved it! Best movie ever! You told all your friends about it, the great music, the cool characters, the gear cars? You talked about it for years, for decades, and then it turned up again, so you dragged your family to see a cool movie that was done right.
