God damn it. I was all keen to throw my weight behind John Wick 3 and it had to go and draw The Raid in round two. Oh well. This is how I felt when John Wick 2 pulled Baby Driver. There was only one film that could beat The Raid, and that was Avengement. |

Admitting you have a problem is the first step towards recovery.

Yes, Keanu, I can't believe it either, but you lost again. Invincible no more. Rogue Nation completes the MI sweep for Round 2, and The Raid joins them, as both advance to the Sweet 16. One more Round 2 fight remains. Next battle up shortly.  |

VersusBaby Driver Release Date: 2017
Directed by: Edgar Wright
RT/Metacritic Score: 93/86
Making Their Case: Wright has orchestrated every swerve and near smashup -- and one glorious foot chase -- with precision, a rarity in action filmmaking these days. - Stephanie Zacharek, Time MagazinePromotional Material:

Baby Driver is going down no matter how much more enjoyable it is than Mad Max, but my vote still goes to Baby Driver so it can go down fighting.
