Baby Driver
Orguss is dead on. I had high hopes and left this film feeling an off kind of disappointment. The main character first presented as somewhere on the Rain Man scale, but then became a regular guy when romancing the waitress. As a cop, I found myself talking to the screen way too much about the stupid way the "getaway" driver sucked (as a driver).

I think that movies like this are so made up of stereotypes from other movies that the creators feel they can cut corners in many of the story telling aspects because they assume we've seen it all before anyway and we'll just numbly fill in the blanks.

One of, if not the best film of 2017. Not saying much, since 2017 has been a dismal year for film so far.

I would have enjoyed it much more than I did if Jaime Foxx's character hadn't been such an unhinged killing machine.

It had some good gun porn.

And if you hate Jaime Fox, well, SPOILER ALERT! There is one scene you will really like.
