Baby Driver Review: 5 Ups & 4 Downs

2. The Editing Is Rough In Places

One of the hallmarks of any Edgar Wright movie is the pin-sharp editing, which he expertly employs to both magnificent comedic effect and to ensure action beats are thrillingly dynamic.

Though the editing mostly does a great job of enhancing both the humour and action, it is also noticeably more spotty than in his previous films, perhaps because the action here is simply so much more chaotic and busy than in his other works.

During the film's many car chases, Wright sometimes uses multiple cuts per second, and the result can be a little more disorientating than his fans will be used to, giving it a more rough-hewn and less-assured feel than his previous efforts.
