Review.
Best movie I've ever seen. Without a doubt. I love everything in this movie; the cars, the music, the action. Everything was so well done and the story was so well made. The ending was the cherry on top too, I love how Baby finally turned himself in after running away from the police the whole time and when he gets out, him and Debora finally go on their road trip while listening to music. Such a great way to connect with someone in my opinion too. Baby was just such a relatable character also. On the outside, he was just a quiet kid who had lots of trauma in his younger days. His family died in a car crash and the only thing to keep him together throughout the hard times was music. I just love how this movie was made and everything about it.
The main plot was great. I really liked how it started around the hour mark instead of earlier. Even though the plot didn't hit until later, this movie wasn't a slow burn too. It made sure to show the important parts about Baby, his job, his driving, his background, his current life, and especially how he connected and met Debora. I loved how Baby in the beginning started by saying "One last drive" after the opening scene. It showed that instead of trying to keep being part of a criminal group that he wanted to leave and become something different. And in his case, he was able to leave and change, but fate had other plans for him. It showed that even when things start to get better, they can always go right back to what they were.
As for the antagonists,
