Talented getaway driver Baby (Ansel Elgort) relies on the beat of his personal soundtrack to be the best in the game. After meeting the woman (Lily James) of his dreams, he sees a chance to ditch his shady lifestyle and make a clean break. Coerced into working for a crime boss (Kevin Spacey), Baby must face the music as a doomed heist threatens his life, love and freedom.
Certainly not in comparison with other films, but if you're sensitive to blood you should definitely not watch this, there are repeated and regular instances of uncomfortably bloody violence.
After the scene where baby gets coffee right at the beginning of the movie, a character asks if he’s (r word). Baby records this and makes a song out of it. We hear it repeat a few times in the movie. It’s used again when they’re gonna rob the postal office and Jamie Foxx’s character is telling him to drive. He yells out “move (r slur!”).
The main character’s parents die. There are flashbacks of the parents. We don’t see them die but we can easily assume the result as we see a lead up to a car crash
But if you are sensitive to sounds, be aware that the movie contains scenes with a constant ringing sound, muffled voices, loud gunshot sounds and other things that might be uncomfortable.
Reality is a little unstable.
For example, gunfights. The beat of the bullets match up to the song the main character is listening to. Much of reality subtly leans into similar incidents of 'matching the beat'.
The word "r***rded" is used in reference to the main character. It's spoken by a character already known not to be a good person, and is sardonically sampled in a remix made by the main character later.
While the word r**arded" is used in one scene, the character it is used against is immediately defended, and it is made clear that the term is not appropriate in any way. No other hate speech is used in the film.
