A More Sophisticated Action Movie That Aims At The Heart

Rating: 8/10 (30 June 2017)

Going into "Baby Driver", I had lowish expectations. I could not have been more wrong. Probably the best action film of 2017 thus far, Edgar Wright (known for "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz") delivers a well blended film that incorporates very well spaced action and romance, with just a hit of comedy. Baby (Ansel Elgort) is a lovable and approachable character, who's obsession with music has you tapping your foot along with the stellar tune he plays along the ride. Action seems to be pretty much grounded to the laws of physics in this film, and even though there's a hearty dose of it, audience members will leave the theater wishing there was more in the film.
8/10, would recommend.
