Groovy Babyy

Rating: 9/10 (16 July 2017)

Director Edgar Wright is in a league of his own. I have always been a fan of his movies, especially the three flavors cornetto trilogy. With Baby Driver, Wright adds one more feather to his cap by directing this heist action comedy. Oh wait, it can also be categorized musical.
Baby Driver is about a young driver named Baby who works for a criminal boss to help him and his team finish a job. Things take a sharp turn, when Baby finds the love of his life and decides to quit what he is doing. Things are not as easy as they seem, as he has to go against his evil boss, weird heist crew and the law. Of course, Baby Driver has car chase sequences and are superbly shot. But what makes the action better is the music paired along with that. Music Director Steven Price has put out some classics which play mainly as a part of Baby's iPod playlist. The gunfights and combat sequences are quite similar to the ones from previous Edgar Wright movies and it is total fun.
This film is completely character driven. Each character is unique in its own way just like their names. Ansel Elgort as Baby has delivered his best without even having to say many dialogues. The current young generation can relate to his character so much as someone who just want to plug earphones and forget the rest of the world. Jon Hamm as buddy looks very stylish. Kevin Spacey as doc cakewalks through his cool antagonist role. Jamie Foxx is definitely a standout with his impromptu and crazy character called Bats.
Baby driver is a clear example of how one can make a good movie with just well written characters and wicked film making. This will definitely go down as a classic in years to come.
