A comedic and stylish version of Drive

Rating: 7/10 (16 October 2017)

Edgar Wright's Baby Driver(2017) does not follow an original plot. Baby (Ansel Elgort) is a get away driver who wants out of the heist game. While trying to escape the world of crime, he falls in love with the beautiful Debora (Lily James). This sounds much like Drive(2011). Both Baby and Driver, the protagonist of Drive, are getaway drivers who are both trying to walk away from the game. Both movies also explore their love lives. Overall, Baby Driver is a comedic twist on Drive.
Baby Driver, however, can be praised for its style. Minus the plot, the style of the film feels like something out of a Quentin Tarantino film. It's safe to say that the cinematography for this film is worthy of an Oscar. One can also appreciate the accompanied soundtrack of this film. Soundtrack is comprised of mostly tunes that are not overused in films. These tunes accompany the film and add to its style.There is also a combination of enough action and enough comedy. The film has enough action packed scenes to keep the viewer interested and enough whimsical humor to keep them entertained.
Overall the film can be ranked 7/10. Although the plot of Baby Driver is not original, it still a good plot that has a flow. The artistic style of the film, along with its soundtrack make the movie that much better. Baby Driver is definitely a recommended film.
