Brilliant!!

Rating: 9/10 (6 December 2017)

Baby Driver is a surprisingly enthralling action crime thriller. The main and supporting cast does a great job, this is another one of those great flicks with a minimal cast. The young man who plays "Baby" was the right choice, his performance is natural, Jamie Foxx was actually very good in his role, even though at times he dresses like a 15 year old boy in a few scenes, his overall performance is still top-notch, he manages to pull off the unpredictable vibe of his character.
The lyrical music featured takes over the job of the film score, the score is barely featured, but when it is featured it is very subtle, clearly due to the main lead's love of music - the lyrical soundtrack has to be an extremely important factor.
From the moment the very first car getaway chase happens it becomes obvious that the director was inspired by 2011's "Drive", most of these car chase scenes are just like the 2011 movie except "Baby Driver" is more extreme with those particular scenes.
When it comes to the violence, there are a couple of gruesome scenes which are not that long, the majority of the violence is shoot em up scenes which are actually quite mild compared to a lot of action flicks.
It's good that the story line ends up different than most films with similar plots. Dealing with the consequences of your actions the legal way ends up being depicted here, which is a positive thing.
If you love your action crime thrillers, then you will like this movie.
Before renting this film on Amazon Prime Video i wasn't sure if it would be any good, but i'm glad i gave the film a chance. Baby Driver is riveting from start to finish.
For action crime fans, Baby Driver is worth watching once at least.
