A fantastic unique film

Rating: 9/10 (3 July 2017)

After seeing the trailers for this film and being a big fan of the director Edgar wright I was really excited to see baby driver and I will say that this film really delivered. The premise of the film sees a getaway driver who needs music to concentrate try and get even with his mob boss and move on with his life. Ansel elgort plays baby in this film and he really owns the role, his physical performance makes his character interesting to watch. He doesn't have lots of dialogue but what he has he really sells and I really cared about his character as he develops in this film. Lily James plays his love interest in this film and she was really good in this film. I really enjoyed watching there chemistry together and I found there relationship fun to watch in this film. Kevin spacey plays the mob boss in this film and surprise he is great in this film, he provides a lot of humour to the role but i liked his and baby's relationship in the film and how it developed quite dramatically. Jon hamm is in this film and he does a great job in this film as a more honourable criminal that fills his job well. Jamie foxx is in this film and he definitely provides the most fun crazy performance in this film that will make you laugh. He has the best lines and the best humour in this film and he sells the craziness of his character very well. The story has a decent love story in it that I actually wanted to see succeed, also for the first hour I was really into the criminal element to the film. However, I felt like the third act felt a little short on what I wanted to see, without spoilers I can only say I didn't see as much as I would have liked to. The script is written expertly with really sharp dialogue, the humour is quick witted and the drama does work when it is used. The style has a lot of great action scenes especially as you would expect with its driving scenes which are excellent. There is a great use of music in this film and it really adds to give this film a huge personality. Overall this is a fantastic fun unique film that I think has to be seen and appreciated especially in this busy summer.
