2017's Best Action Film!

Rating: 10/10 (25 July 2017)

Baby Driver is a one-of-a-kind movie; Edgar Wright is still one of the 21st Century's best directors and easily among the most creative as well. Baby Driver is like his previous films but unique as well; it's got some genuinely funny moments mixed in with tense drama and action sequences. It starts off with ease, but by the time you get a third into the movie it cranks up the gears and doesn't slow down! This film is pretty damn fun, a bit shocking, and has got some of the best bit-gags in an action movie in recent memory. Imagine the characterization and wit of Hot Fuzz mixed in with the crime-thriller vibe of Heat, with a dash of Nicolas Refn's Drive car-chases, and you have Baby Driver: one of the year's cutting-edge movies. This is a hybrid genre-film that knows when to even out action with character drama and humor; and the result is a seamlessly entertaining film.
This movie is an achievement and is sure to be cited as a modern classic down the track. Who knows? All I know is that I loved this film; and it deserves to be seen at the movies.
