A blast of pure pop energy

Rating: 8/10 (2 July 2017)

Baby Driver is an absolutely brilliant film from Edgar Wright. The performances in this film are all top notch. There are a lot of twists and turns that worked perfectly. I cared about the plot and was invested in the story. The car chase scenes were amazing. They were all in tune with the soundtrack, which was really fun to watch. While the film isn't a full on comedy, it provides some great laughs. The soundtrack felt like its own character. The music fits perfectly and fit very well with the story. From the directing, acting, the soundtrack, and everything in between, the film is a unique and one of a kind experience that cannot be missed.
It's a fun genre mashup that's also rather disposable, offering quick surges of pleasure akin to the cavalcade of tasty pop, rock and R&B songs that litter the soundtrack and provide the film's heartbeat. Action lovers will be impressed by the film's choreography and live stunts, one driver entering and exiting a narrow alley with 180 degree spins. ---Yidioo
