A unique, stylish bomb

Rating: 10/10 (27 November 2017)

Baby Driver is a movie about a young getaway driver who listens to music on his earphones almost all day, every day because it reduces the buzzing in his ears caused by a childhood accident. It's directed by Edgar Wright and stars Ansel Elgort, Lily James, Joe Bernthal and Jamie Foxx.
From the very beginning, I could tell this was gonna be something fun and I ended up having a blast with this movie. The way the scenes match the music makes it almost feel like an action musical and it's truly refreshing to see, especially with such hypnotic action. At the same time, you can tell how much heart is put into this film. It seems like everything was done with so much care and everyone is enjoying what they're doing. And it sure is an enjoyable experience, this is one of the coolest movies recently and one of the most re-watchable this year. Every actor is great on their own, the story brings a familiar premise in a new way, the direction twists it further and the soundtrack is great. The pacing is even and while it does occasionally slow down, it's not felt, I was entertained every second.
I have nothing but words of praise for this movie and I'm happy to say it's one of my favorites of the year. With it's blood-pumping action and a stylish direction, it's a good time guaranteed.
