The best movie ever of 2017. 9/10

Rating: 9/10 (8 June 2020)

There is no movie more amazing, more intense, more original and more awesome than Edgar Wright's baby driver (2017). I know I might be exaggerating but for real, this is one of the best movies I've seen in the last few years. It has a great and original script idea. The whole tone of the movie is intriguing, fun and fast. If you thought "The Fast and The Furious" franchise has no content, you won't be disappointed with this killer heist movie. Ansel Elgort delivers his best performance in a movie. His acting and coolness on screen is amazing. I'm attached to his character. Lily James is stunning in her performance. Kevin Spacey is fantastic as a mob guy who runs the whole operation. Jamie Foxx is annoying but that's the whole point with his character and that's why I loved him. Jon Bernthal, Jon Hamm and Eisa Gonzales are fabulous and great actors. Hands down to Edgar Wright on the writing and directing of the movie. He made the best out of it. I think for the whole movie I had absolutely no problem. Nothing bad to say about it, I enjoyed most sequences although I can point on a few things that bothered me:
1) when baby was interrogated by Doc and the rest of the team, after they went to his house and stole all his records. Baby is facing a big challenge. The crew members of the heist are accusing him of betrayal and calling him a "snitch", throughout the movie baby's character is silent and cool but I was hoping for him to get more mad. Instead of playing one of his records to show he is just making music, why can't he defend himself a little more?. His adoptive father was probably hit, his girlfriend is in danger, why I don't see his character changing a bit and turning from cool mode to bad mode?. I really hoped in this particular scene where he is in danger and being questioned. That we will see him all hothead.
That's it, that's how I enjoyed the movie, and it is rare cause I have nothing else bad to say about it.
The soundtrack is probably the main feature here, every song is a masterpiece and fits so well into every scene or sequence. Every scene has a song that matches perfectly for the tone and genre of the movie. One of the best soundtracks ever made for a movie. My favorite moment of the film has to be opening sequence of baby walking to get coffee for the others. This scene is just so well made, the one shot filming of the scene that focuses on baby, the song "Harlem Shuffle" by Bob and Earl in the background is fantastic, and all the words of the song on the background was a nice touch: when baby slides, the words "right here" appear on the floor (genius). I wish I can talk more about this movie but maybe it's better to highly recommend this film, a nice, furious and thriller packed heist movie. With an original idea. This movie should have won:
Best picture, Best original screenplay, Best leading actor for Ansel Elgort, Best supporting actor for Jamie Foxx and of course Best soundtrack. That's not an oscar category but it delivers my point.
