A great blend of action, humour and music

Rating: Null/10 (28 July 2017)

Baby Driver gives us a fresh, exciting and fun experience at the cinema. From the very start the film goes off with a bang and we are straight into it. Baby's unique personality and set of skills gives the film its edge. Not to mention the mix of great actors who hit it out of the park. You feel the danger, intensity and thrill of the ride throughout the film.
Unlike traditional or previous heist movies this film has a novel approach and pulls it off with great style. A number of scenes are synchronized with the music which really works. The beauty of this film and its music is that the audience joins in on Baby enjoying some great music from Queen to Lionel Richie. The story works well too with showing Baby and his various crew members pulling off some heists that showcased some impressive driving on his characters part. The love story also worked well and it nicely intertwined with the main story.
Some criticisms of Baby Driver are we could seen or heard more about how he came to be involved in this life. We got a brief reason from Kevin Spacey but maybe being shown these scenes as a flashback would have worked well. Another thing could have been better locations or situations for the heists as they seemed quite ordinary such as the post office. Overall a very enjoyable film and not one to be missed.
8.5/10
