With 3.4 million followers, Stephen King’s opinion is sure to carry some weight.  King is just one of several famous folks to give the film a big thumbs-up. Iron Man director Jon Favreau has described the film as “awesome” while French Connection and Exorcist filmmaker William Friedkin wrote on Twitter that Baby Driver was “the most entertaining and original film I’ve seen in years.” Celebs are not alone though as movie critics across the board seem to be loving this high octane crime thriller.
