I want to see this waaaay more than the next F&F movie. This was written by and directed by Edgar Wright of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz fame. Looks like a lot of practical stunts.

Good lord, the bootlegger turn at 1:40.

Looking forward to this for sure.

And Flea! Hah...

Looking forward to it, even if I'm confused by an Edgar Wright film without Nick Frost and Simon Pegg.

Hell of a cast but even in the preview it looked hokey and rehashed.

I will watch it.

Just one more heist then he can go straight. That is almost as overused in movies as the scene that shows plane wheels touchdown and make the sound they make. Looks like it will be fun to watch at least.

I guess my celebrity-fu is not strong. I recognized Kevin Spacey and the rest were just random people.

Looks like a passable way to waste a couple hours, but I have to say it's named after one of the most annoying songs ever written.

Looks like fun, I'll watch. Also feeling way too old realizing that the hot young girl in the movie is the right age to be my daughter.

For some reason, I just see this making WRXs more expensive.

Looks decent though, better than FF anyway.

Kevin Spacey (Academy Award for The Usual Suspects, he was the Gimp Verbel/Kaiser Soze), Jamie Foxx (played Ray Charles in Ray, Academy Award. He also played Mother Berkeleyer Jones in Horrible Bosses and was the QB in Any Given Sunday [not that one, the football one]), Jon Hamm (lead in Mad Men), Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers and a ton of movies actually)

It isn't short on talent, but the plot seems pathetic and WAYYYY overdone.

I don't watch Bullett for the story line so I will watch.

Looks exactly as hokey and detached as I like my movies.

Zombie outbreak wasn't a new plot device either, but Shaun of the Dead delivered. So instead of determining now that the movie is crap, I will go see it with a heart full of optimism based on the fact that the WRX appears to have retained four drive wheels. Yes, I'm looking at you Tokyo Drift.

That, and the inch-perfect powerslide in the Challenger (talk about using ALL the tarmac).

Don't get me started on the Zoombie stupidity.

I can't wait to read the pro-driver list on this one

There's a ton of stunt drivers, but no names I recognize.

There is a song called Baby Driver?

EDIT: Huh, watching a you tube of it now. Don't think I've ever heard it before.

Very enjoyable flick. Some great car stunts and music, and while the plot isn't totally original, it has it's share of twists. The movie is very stylistic, the music plays a big role in moving it along, and there are several long stretches with no spoken dialogue, but they don't drag at all. And I don't have room here to list all the cool cars in it.

This wasn't really on my radar until I saw the post here by the stunt-driving double for "baby". And I read a review that made it sound like a decent movie. Now do I take the WRX covered in mud? (Or wait for Netflix like my usual MO)

I'm seeing 15-year old examples for $6-$7k, how much more expensive can they get?
