Baby Driver

This was the most fun Ive had watching a movie in a long time. It has everything Im looking for in a summer blockbuster: nonstop action, amazing soundtrack (best soundtrack of the year), and hilariously funny. Oh and its an Edgar Wright film which has never been a let down. Ive never seen the star, Ansel Elgort, in anything before but I know he was in the running to play Han Solo and now Im extremely sad he didnt make the cut he even dresses like Solo for most of the film.

Let it never be said that "Overrated" equates to "Bad".

Final rating:½ - I really liked it. Would strongly recommend you give it your time.

Don't mess with this Baby!

One of the stylish film of the year. There's nothing special about the story, but the way it was made looks intriguing. The individual characters, music, stunts, obviously car chases. Not the best role Ansel Elgort has ever played, but in his short, beginning of the career, it quite possibly defines he's ready for the tough roles. Then the British filmmaker known for some wonderful action-comedies, one more addition to his hit kit.

A youngster who is a getaway car driver for heists, working under a criminal mastermind, is often teamed with a different crew. One of his latest job takes an unexpected twist, leaving his yet to bloom romance with a waitress in peril. His attempt to come out of that, the risk...

Extremely stylish, anime inspired superb action film. Edgar Wright knows what he's doing.

Baby (Elgort) is a quiet, unassuming young man, who looks after his ailing foster parent, listens to music both out of his love for it, and a need to block out the tinnitus ringing in his ears that he was afflicted with due to a tragic accident that also took his parents. Baby also has a specific skill set, one that has him doing the bidding of a crime boss Doc (Spacey) to pay back a debt.

Baby's skill is driving, but not just any driving, the kind of skilled driving that gets Doc's crew of armed bandits away from the scene of bank hold-ups very fast, and then leads crews of police cars on a merry dance, and dodges every trick up their sleeves with a few of his own set to a killer music soundtrack from his iPod.

With light at the end ...

The moment you catch feelings is the moment you catch a bullet.

Baby Driver is written and directed by Edgar Wright. It stars Ansel Elgort, Jon Bernthal, Jon Hamm, Jamie Foxx, Kevin Spacey, Flea, Lily James and Eiza González. Music is by Steven Price and cinematography by Bill Pope.

In debt to a crime boss, a young getaway driver with tinnitus finds himself taking part in a heist that could spell doom for all involved.

Lets get it out the way, I'm a big fan of Edgar Wright, I find him refreshing for still shooting on film. That he has beautiful camera actions and for the fact his cutting is smooth and not a incomprehensible video game mess like so many other action movie directors these days. So obviously I love Baby Driver for su...

Lots of slick driving and action, but slim on plot, and very unrealistic ending. No explanation of HOW he becomes an expert driver.

Baby Driver stands out as a brilliant, unique, and fun piece of cinema art with its outstanding writing, perfect cast, exceptional stunt work, bold colors, and so much more. This movie gets everything right. However, this film's most impressive feature lies in its soundtrack. The music is a character of the movie interacting with other characters - its beats matching and punctuating what is happening on screen throughout the entire film. One of my favorite heist movies and probably one of my favorite movies of all time.

Overall : Everything about Baby Driver is fresh, fun, and unique. Don't let this one get away!

There is an episode of Tales from the Crypt wherein the protagonists conscience sounds just like and is played by Sam Kinison. OH! OH! AAAUGH! This is only slightly worse than tinnitus but still slightly better than Baby Driver, the story of an idiot savant who is the best getaway driver in Atlanta with the caveat that he needs to listen to his iPod; when at the mercy of FM radio, Baby (Ansel Elgort) becomes Tyrone from Snatch. Baby suffers from tinnitus. To drown out the ringing in his ears, Baby constantly listens to music which is like putting out a fire with gasoline even when fleeing at full speed from the scene of a crime. Right. Children, do not play loud music on your headphones while driving a vehicle.

Baby is in love with ...

I guess this is one of those movies that you're not supposed to like because meh politics and meh hipster and meh outrage culture and... reasons that really make no sense and are ultimately meaningless.

At least that is what a good bulk of the negative reviews say.

So let's not talk about meh politics and focus on the movie instead.

My wife put it on, and I have never heard of it. I, legit, thought she was talking about Simon and Garfunkel when she started talking about it. "Do you want to watch Baby Driver?"

Honest mistake, she's part Guatemalan, her English isn't all that great... watch, listen to, whatever.

Anyway, I was in the kitchen cooking and I missed the first part... but I was digging the music.

In fact I was dig...

Like music beats? Like movies? You've never seen the two combined like this before. On the surface, this is an action-heist movie. But look again...with your ears. The visual beats are in time with the soundtrack. It's utterly mesmerising.
