Saw it this afternoon. I thought the driving sequences were great and the shooting sequences were pretty good, and I really liked the over the top criminal performances of Jon Hamm, Berenthal, Spacey, and Foxx. It felt like Tarantino without the "hey I love to use the n word but I swear I'm not a racist" aspect.
But I didn't find any of the plot and character development with Baby interesting games. Everything in his apartment, the gf, the music, it all rang flat for me. It might just be an old man thing, because I was also put off by his style. I guess I'm not ready for an action-y movie lead who wears skinny jeans and whatever those dumb shoes are.
I also want to point out (sorry if old) that there are flashbacks where characters are using an iPod but the clothes and car dashboard are from the late 1980s.
