Just watched it. It has some influences that I like, stuff you can easily recognize from the Caen brothers or Quentin Tarantino, and a lot of things from older movies I don't necessarily know. But I found it hard to accept the mix of The Driver's quick-on-his-feet badassery on the one hand, and his autistic behavior around people on the other. It's hard to like a movie that just decides, out of the blue, that anything can kill anyone, but that the hero is incapable of being hurt no matter how much of his blood you spill. Stab to the guts? Just walk it off, because this cool heist movie has slowly turned into a comic book hero movie... Doesn't really work for me.
Inspired, but not inspiring.
