Pure unadulterated entertainment. It’s slick, fun, engaging with a fabulous soundtrack and an ubercool lead in Ansel Elgort as Baby.
Nearly a decade as the getaway driver for crime boss Kevin Spacey closes in – but just because he’s paid his debt does not mean Baby can simply drive off into the sunset with new beau, Lily James. It’s a heist bound to fail – especially with pyscho Jamie Foxx and trigger happy husband and wife team, Jon Hamm and Eiza González in the vehicle.
Director Edgar Wright’s narrative may not be original, but a surfeit of ideas, fun and sheer class make Baby Driver one of the best films of the year.
Nominated for 3 Oscars in 2017 (film editing, sound editing, sound mixing).
