Oh baby!

Rating: 8/10 (17 July 2017)

If I had three words to describe Baby Driver, it would be eccentric, charming and fresh.
Pros: - Use of music was unique and melodic and the movie almost half way became a musical as the songs used, which I will not spoil, were related to the action on screen. - Ansel Elgort was tops, kept his character interesting and mysterious, which is great as Baby will be someone you will invest in and root for during the film increasing the intensity in some of the action scenes. - The editing.. phenomenal. If you are a fan of Edgar Wrights fast paced, smooth editing then look no further.
I could go on for a while with the pros yet I feel that I stated the three main ones although I would like to give a special mention to Jamie Foxx, who gave a brilliant performance.
Cons: - Although the cons a relatively nit-picky the main con, which does not bring down the entire film but merely slows it down, is the romance between Baby and Deborah, played by Lily James. Although the romance was fine and relatively believable, I just didn't feel it was on par with the uniqueness and charm of the rest of the film.
Overall despite the awkward slow pacing at points due to the romance narrative, Baby Driver is a must see film and is a heap of fun, had me smiling throughout.
