Edgar Wright has so much talent and he proves it yet again with Baby Driver. The most stylish, fabulous and original movie I've seen all year. Action-packed, music-packed, dramatic and laugh-out-loud funny.

The wheels fall off at the end, pun intended, but like most Edgar Wright joints its not the destination, it's the ride. Solid 7.5 ... Worth renting.

The opening scene is so iconic in and of itself that it almost immediately makes the film for me. It sets up the idea that the film will be flowing with the soundtrack and that music is important to the main character because of some personal trauma.

Where it drags for me are with two performances, those of Jamie Foxx and Kevin Spacey. For me Jamie Foxx is trying too hard to be an intimidating bad guy that he almost reaches Jared Leto's 'Joker' for me. Meanwhile, Kevin Spacey's performance is pretty lackluster and forgettable, even before the news about his past came out. His roll could've been better filled by someone else with a better presence, perhaps Kurt Russel? Overall it's a fun movie and has a lot of intricate sequences that should be watched with a keen eye, definitely give it a watch.… Expand

Edgar Wright is very talented when you can see it by watching this movie. As usual, it contains a lot of music, the work on synchronization between audio and visual is INSANE, you can feel the rythm in every scene.

What makes this movie so great is that it's filled with memorable characters, packed with action, a great love story, and even a few surprises and twists that catch you off-guard. Ansel Elgort plays the cool Baby, a young driver whose job is to drive a group of criminals so they can heist. He works under the intimidating Doc (Kevin Spacey) who is very demanding when it comes to Baby. We see that Baby lives a quiet life looking after his deaf companion, and whatever money he makes, he uses it to feed him, and make sure he's well looked after. Baby attends to a diner, and meets a pretty young waitress named Debora (Lily James), who also shares a love for music. They seem to really hit it off, and this becomes a thing for the two of them. However, things get complicated when a thug named Bats (Jamie Foxx), who doesn't like to waste time, he prefers to do the job, and get away just like that, no other questions asked. The movie is impressive and entertaining, and proves even further that Edgar Wright is one of the most underrated filmmakers working today. With films from; 'Shaun of the Dead' (2004), to 'The World's End' (2013), he has proven to be both original, and using some effective camerawork to craft his films. I really liked the romantic chemistry between Elgort and James, and at a time where many movies are filled with unnecessary and somewhat bland romantic subplots, theirs is honestly the best one I've seen since 'Deadpool' (2016). Hopefully, in the future, we get more films that are as expertly crafted and equally as fun as this. Probably the most fun movie in 2017.… Expand

Personally this has been the best well rounded movie I have seen all year. The film was well shot, the sound editing was amazing, and the cast was fantastic. Ansel Elgort as “Baby” played a very likable but conflicted main protagonist. His performance supplemented by a great supporting cast (Eiza Gonzalez, Jamie Fox, John Ham, and Kevin Spacy). Worth mentioning, the movie had a very well-coordinated continuous shot, as well as amazing implantation of song and sound. Edgar Wright and Team were able to turn the movie into a best hits playlist without it becoming boring or stagnant. The way in which song was incorporated into each scene was unique and did not take away from the story. I recommend this film to anyone looking for a new original screen play, or fans of fast moving crime films.… Expand

From a wide variety of interesting wellImmediately (As in the first ten minutes or so) Baby Driver proves one thing. It is everyone's movie! Edgar Wright has truly outdone himself in what I consider one of the greatest comeback films ever. From a wide variety of interesting well developed characters, to a tasty platter of amazing songs that practically run the scenes, Baby Driver proves to be summers greatest hit thus far. In the first few moments of the film, Baby (Ansel Elgort) proves why he is Docs(Kevin Spacey) "lucky charm". I mean..... this kid can drive! But not just that, he is also incredibly smart which aids in their robbery escapes multiple times in the film. That's one of things I like about Baby Driver, or more specifically Edgar Wright. He clearly puts so much time and effort into each character; and never stops at the bare minimum. We can see this through the other thieves and misfits as well. I especially liked Jon Hamms character Buddy, I thought his personality was extremely complex up until his last line of dialogue. And don't even get me started on Kevin Spacey. This man proves why he is one of the best, if not the best actor of all time. The character of doc was so complex, especially with his relationship with Baby. In a weird way it sort of worked like a father son relationship, which Wright played out in the best way possible. I would also like to point out that in current times it's easy to loose the stakes in action sequences, however, because of the dynamics between the characters it keeps you on the edge of your seat. There is one scene in the Diner that was specifically clever, props to Jamie Foxx. Another great part of Baby Driver was it's music. I can't honestly think of a time when an amazing song wasn't playing. This film is actually run by the music! Which is incredibly clever, but also highly entertaining. I thought he played that part of Babys character so well into the scenes and dialogue with other characters. Every part of this movie moved to the sound of the beat, and I just love that attention to detail. It really makes each scene that much more enjoyable.

Finally, I thought the ending to the film was a very refreshing spin on a modern day criminal/hero. Baby Driver brought real life consequences to the decisions its characters make, and I couldn't agree more with that style of storytelling.

Some minor discrepancies would probably be the fact that Baby fell in love incredibly quickly. His love Deborah (Lily James) also seemed a little to willing to risk her life so early into a relationship. But I guess if it's love it's love.


Overall, If you are looking for an incredible thrill ride. Speed to Baby Driver right now, it truly is an incredibly well written/acted/edited thrill ride that always plays to the sound of the beat.… Expand

The film“Baby Driver” is the brainchild of writer/director Edgar Wright who brings us this action packed adventure involving bank heists and getaway chases that would make the producers of “Bullitt” and “The French Connection” gasp in awe. The film stars Ansel Elgort In the title role as the young man forced to drive getaway cars for a group of characters played by Kevin Spacey, Jon Hamm, Eliza Gonzalez, Lily James and James Foxx. Fast paced with the director’s foot constantly on the pedal, the film has a few dramatic moments and a simple story but, more than anything, the real star or stars (depending on what car is being used) are the vehicles speeding across the screen. Mr. Elgort is wonderfully cast as the main character of the film and draws the audience into his plight and circumstance with easy identification. Mr. Hamm, alas, is apparently faced with the George/Jason Alexander syndrome for he is not really believable as a punk hold up guy and seems better suited to be behind a desk an office on the Mad Men set. I give the film an 8 because, more than anything, it is an easy and enjoyable theatrical experience.… Expand

That said, it is not without it's problems. For a movie that advertises itself as being a car chase movie, it has relatively few chases, even getting the best out of the way right off the hop. What you get instead is a love story that improbably strays toward Bonnie and Clyde, then ditches that cliche at the last minute. I was also disappointed with Baby's back story, as the "good guy trapped in a bad spot" justification for wrong-doing is getting old. And finally, you'll have to suspend your disbelief during the gun play, as our heroes/villains seemingly have a dozen horseshoes up their backsides!

The way it uses the music is just so great. It's so different from all the other movies, but it isn't artsy in a way that only the critics will like it: this is a movie for everyone. I went with a friend who is really hard to please when it comes to movies, but I just knew he would love this. And I was right, I never saw him as excited about a movie as he was about this one. It's just so much fun to watch, but it's also serious when it needs to be and it has very intruiging characters. But I'll be honest, the core of the movie is its music. I think this is the second time I say it, but the music works so well. If I wasn't in the theaters I would sing with the songs. Even though it's completely different, it reminds me a bit of Fury Road in the way that it makes you want to punch your fist and the air and cheer during the movie. In reality I think it's more a mixture of La La Land and Grand Theft Auto (it's definitely not a musical btw). Go see this movie. I don't want to overhype anyone, but I'll make a bold statement and say this is my favorite Edgar Wright movie. I'll be shocked if this doesn't appear on many 'Best of the Year' lists in December, at least I already know it'll be on mine.… Expand

Baby in particular has more complicated motivations, and they are revealed in tidbits throughout the movie, but it never throws the movie off track and is actually a helpful insight into the mind of Baby. The action scenes are top-notch... I'll just leave it at that because that's the one part of the movie that no one should even be debating over. Baby's relationship with "a girl" was at first surprisingly realistic... but as things start to get more troubling for Baby, it's hard to believe how the relationship with the "girl" was effected (That's how spoiler-free I can go when it comes to talking about that.) All of the actor's performances in this movie are just enchanting... and just when you think a character is a really nice person, they end up being a bit of a **** ok, I'll stop talking about this before I get into something that'll really spoil the movie.… Expand

The opening scene sets a manic tone for the rest of film in what feels like a mashup between La La Land and The Town. Simply put, writer/director Edgar Wright has a way of moving through scenes and occupying their spaces like none other. The visceral nature of Baby Driver is also attributable to the fact that 95 percent of the action and effects happen in-camera—shot on 35mm film no less—with CGI utilized for just a few touch-ups and quick shots. Baby Driver is yet another superb addition to Edgar Wright’s already impressive list of films. And thankfully it serves as a sort of oasis, easily among the best films released this year, in what so far has been a remarkably tepid output from Hollywood.… Expand

Baby Driver is one of the best movies of 2017 so far. It is action packed, funny, and has the best soundtrack since Guardians of the Galaxy. I highly recommend Baby Driver.

"Baby Driver" is a masterful tour de force driving genuine originality and blistering narrative. In a film period where edginess is often lacking and the few ones that come to light are squandered by unreasonably bombastic pieces of cinema"Baby Driver" is a masterful tour de force driving genuine originality and blistering narrative. In a film period where edginess is often lacking and the few ones that come to light are squandered by unreasonably bombastic pieces of cinema entertainment, filmmaker Edgar Wright breaks into this parched audiovisual panorama with a film oasis that is reaching, at full speed, the summit just after the first two minutes.

As a heist cinema veneration, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion welcomes, with a fiery punk blues, the circumstantial maelstrom experienced by the main role, placing the spectator in the middle of the core since the opening, putting us alternatively inside and outside a lavish red car, which symbolizes the fierce, intriguing and frantic path the main character must drive. Undoubtedly, the film encompasses and handles, with an impressive care, a set of juicy components that enable it to do and be tremendous deed: a frenetic and spellbinder stylistic journey (of no return) to a severe personal maturation, an awakening greatly empowered by music, rather by good music. Steven Price, Academy Award winner for his hair-raising compositions for Alfonso Cuarón's "Gravity" film, orchestrates and gears, alongside the large sound department, both the created scores and the ultra-popular songs (which monopolize more than 80% of the footage) with the most accurate expertise throughout the story, they're the tires of the film, they take the plot hand-in-hand.

The visual section is simply masterful, glorifying frames that synthesize the most beautiful attributes of the scene. Bill Pope's camera emanates magic from the opening sequence; unsuspected angles, smart focus and avant-garde photographic games lead the preconception of the typical and theatrical American crime to another level, one that is hard to reach. Justin O'Neal Miller, Marcus Rowland and Nigel Churcher decorate settings with (on the surface) a limited view of artistic potential: a conservative cafe, a grayish control center, an urban parking plot or depressing banking entities. Leaning on nuances, colors, contrasts and bright visual tricks that, together with Pope's cinematography and Courtney Hoffman's costume design work, conceive a high-octane motion picture in general and specific terms. To finish the flattery, the soul of the footage could not miss, magnified by the task of Jonathan Amos and Paul Machliss in the editing room, a fundamental work for the technical and creative results, which must be considered as one of the best incursions within the genre so far this century. Actors and storytelling merge into one. Without the excellence of one, there is no excellence of the other. Teaming up with a cast of real talent, the plot doesn't miss the focus and presents what it desires; Here the action scenes don't have mere ends of entertainment, here these are chess chips that jointly address the future of Baby, the leading role. "The Fast & the Furious" carries the banner for the car film universe, the high demand action films are led by DC Comics and Marvel Studios titans, thriller genre feeds on periodic indie strangeness and comedies are governed by laughable ideas of major studios, so how does "Baby Driver" get to encompass and execute perfectly each of these genres without falling into the classic homage or the shameful copy? Well, the answer is in the successful narrative management. It's practically impossible that a current film doesn't present reminiscences to previous ones, and even this one cannot be saved, however, the way to intersperse surprises, sadness, and twists is sharp and sudden, distributing them naturally thanks to the excellent sketch of the narrative script, an authentic fear of the 21st century. Beauty, masculinity, panache, and energy possesses the acting team that has as head the DJ and actor Ansel Elgort. The performances are unbeatable, something that was predictable in advance by having a first-grade diverse cast, they all have a chance to catch and reach at least a few seconds of glory, however, the main actor, Hamm, James and Spacey are those who freeze the screen with their amazing interpretations, which drive this crazy carriage, which take the greatest praises.

"Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen, right now I got to tell you about the fabulous, most groovy" action, crime and thriller motion picture of the year. Wright leads on firmly with one of the most original, potential and coolest proposals within the thriller/crime so far this century. With a remarkable third act, the margins of error are iotas in respect of the sublime work, a contemporary movie with nostalgic and old references by a Hollywood that is claimed step by step; A must-see that needs to be experienced by any cinema fan thirsty for speed, comedy, drama and many, many great twists. Complexly striking, perhaps the best crime is the one made by Edgar Wright, a master of huge magnitudes.… Expand

It's rare to find a movie as subtly innovative & original as Baby Driver, especially when the musical nostalgia is this consistently strong. The opening scene is especially glorious, and sets a new benchmark for modern cinema to compete with.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can already tell that Baby Driver is going to be one of my favorite films of the year. I could feel this movie is special right from the start. Every actor plays their character well, and every character is well written and interesting.
Unlike other movies with cool rock n' roll soundtracks, where the songs are simply there and they sound cool, this movie is edited around each song. I held my breath through the first scene as I was blown away by the insane car chase and amazing editing. Every scene is cut to move with whatever song Baby is listening to, and every song fits the tone and pacing of the scene. Because of the editing and soundtrack, this movie is very stylized and fun to look at.
Baby Driver is not all style, though. Every character is well written and well directed. I found each criminal Baby had to work with interesting. They obviously had history and interesting back stories, but the movie did not slow itself down with needless exposition. In fact, very little is known about each criminal, but they are all unique and fun to watch. There is obviously chemistry between the actors, and this makes the comedy and drama land really well.

However, there were some scenes that were not perfect. The first is when Baby and company must visit "The Butcher," who is their arms dealer. The guy talks about his weapons like they are cuts of meat, calling one gun bacon, another prime rib, etc. This threw me out of the movie since it seemed unrealistic and strange to me. John Wick 2 had a similar scene, which was equally confusing. While to someone who is not accustomed to firearms this dialogue might sound cool, to me it doesn't make sense why a seasoned criminal would not just call a gun by its name. Similarly, why would John Wick ask for something more "robust," when he could just ask for a 12 gauge shotgun, or an AK, or whatever he wants. I had similar thoughts during Baby Driver's arms dealer scene. Fortunately this was a short part of the movie, so it didn't really effect my rating too much.
One more thing that bugged me is that Baby's girlfriend decides to join Baby after discovering that he is a criminal. She never really questions him. Realistically, if I had been with a guy for a week, and then found out he was a wanted criminal being chased by the law and several angry bank robbers, I would get as far away from him as possible. I think this is my biggest gripe concerning the movie, but it is still such a small part of the movie that it doesn't effect my score by much.

Overall this is an amazing film. I don't want to give away too much, so I will leave this review here. I give it a 95%. It had a few flaws, but honestly I couldn't think of anything I didn't like about the movie when I was coming out of the theatre. I really had to let it seep for a few hours before I could think of the flaws. I would definitely recommend seeing this over any other new releases. Instead of wasting your ticket on Transformers, go see Baby Driver.… Expand

The one-r toward the beginning was especially well directed. Wright's timing from his earlier comedies still shows throughout the film, adding to both the comedy and the intensity of the action throughout. Sound was well handled in the film, with Wright taking advantage of the standard surround sound and playing soundtrack and environmental elements as if the viewer shares the same ears as the main character. Toward the end, there's a moment when the audience is violently reminded they share the same ears as Baby, so the next couple scenes are more immersive than normal. Wright has a number of call-backs to his earlier films, notably a comedic story technique used at the beginning of Shaun of the Dead and a couple spoofs of Michael Bay shots he'd previously used in Hot Fuzz.
Timing was everything in this movie and that every scene had its own unique beat was interesting. This movie did blatant soundtrack usage correctly, which is rare today.
The color grading of the film is different depending on the tone of each scene and who's in it, which is pretty refreshing. There's a specific character who, whenever they're on screen alone with Baby, the color grading goes to the same one used in Baby's flashbacks but without a filter over it, which was strong visual story telling. This carried over into how ideas are established throughout the film, especially toward the climax, where there's a scene where a minor character's dialogue and letters on a box tell a story, one of the characters tells the story they got from those elements, and finally another character subverts audience expectations based on that story.
The story itself follows a familiar path, but it follows it due to the personality traits of each character and the conflicts which arise between them. Spacey and James' characters represent character motivations and pressures for Baby which parallel his parents (not a spoiler), Jon Hamm's character is a perfect counterpart and foil to Baby which pushes him to make choices which reveal what he cares about most, his caretaker is a catalyst for change in his character and his realization of his true character motivations, and Foxx's character is a lesser foil which forces Baby into the situation which will eventually require him to make the choices he makes in the face of Jon Hamm's character.
The film has a somewhat typical but tight and well written plot, impressive stage direction (especially on the one-r), imaginative and immersive use of sound, characters who matter and the four most important of these characters undergo believable character arcs (the others are used to facilitate these arcs or give evidence of each characters true nature), and the editing is the best I've seen in a long time. Some of the driving in the film can get confusing on some of the faster paced chase scenes, but all of the driving sequences are exciting at the least and the film isn't actually about driving so much as it is about someone who, by happenstance, is forced into the position of driving. Every chase scene has some unique situation or stunt and the film feels much shorter than its 113 minute run time.
Probably the most solid action film I've seen in years and a great date movie if both of you are okay with violence in film.… Expand

This is one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard. That the movie's plot is inextricably tied to the music is its greatest virtue. The writer/director Edgar Wright made the "Three Flavors Cornetto" film trilogy of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World's End, the first two of which I really liked. He also made the truly underrated and under-appreciated Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, which was also tied to its music. Baby Driver is very kinetic and energetic. The driving is fantastic. Aaron Elgort will most likely become more known for this film than his previous memorable performance in The Fault in Our Stars. His character here is not that developed, but he's interesting. We find out the things that happened in his life to bring him to this unique situation, without finding out anything about how he learned to drive - which seems to be his greatest gift. This is a crime/heist drama mashed up with a romance and a long form music video. There are plenty of good bad guys: Kevin Spacey is perfectly believable as the head baddy, as are most of the others. Some are a little too over the top. But this movie is not about subtlety or nuance. You have sexy bad girl Darling (Eliza Gonzalez) and sexy love interest Debora (Lily James), apparently well orchestrated heists and wall to wall music. It is a fun ride. But the story gets a little too corny, rushed and completely unrealistic at the end. Not that any of it is realistic, which Baby Driver surely is not. But it is a fun ride. And did I mention that the soundtrack is awesome?… Expand

While the crooks gets to chew on the scenery, it's Elgort's sweet style that holds it all together.

However, the most impressive thing about Baby Driver was it's incorporation of music with the scenes.

Baby is a young man being held hostage to Kevin Spacey based hpon something that happened in the past. Spacey has a rotating crew of thieves and Baby is the indentured getaway driver. The heists include banks, armored cars and even the post office. Among the thieves are John Hamm and Jamie Foxx. They do not play nicely with each other.

He has a wonderful foster father who he is very protectove of and also meets the dazzling Debora when she waits on him at a local diner. She changes his goals and helps him focus on the future. We watch as the various thieves pull off their assigned jobs and Baby gets them away from the cops. There is a thing with Jon Hamm that is hard to swallow and I found myself saying, "Give me a break!". But, other than that, I thought this was a very engrossing movie. You really care about Baby and are rooting for him throughout the picture. The music is almost another character because we see Baby doing everything in time to the music buzzing in his head.

Baby Driver is a fun, action-packed movie with amazing music and choreography. It doesn't necessarily bring anything new to the table, but what it already has on its plate is very enjoyable to watch.

Acting: Considering the only real actingBaby Driver is a fun, action-packed movie with amazing music and choreography. It doesn't necessarily bring anything new to the table, but what it already has on its plate is very enjoyable to watch.

Acting: Considering the only real acting role I'd seen Ansel Elgort in was his music video for his song "Thief", I wasn't sure if he was the right fit for this role. I just couldn't see the lovable lover from "The Fault in Our Stars" being a getaway driver. But he definitely proved that he can act, and is not bland or acts the same all the time. The rest of the acting is done very well, however Kevin Spacey was kind of bland and just behaved like a bored Frank Underwood from "House of Cards" since that seems like the only role he can get these days.

Characters: The characters are done perfectly fine; you can understand their motives easily, and they aren't too over-the-top for the most part. They do a great job presenting the moral dilemmas Baby faces, considering he's a good kid with a good heart who's now caught in debt with Kevin "Frank Underwood" Spacey. And like I said, Spacey's character is a bit bland and doesn't add much to the story; he just has to be in it because he's the boss.

Plot: Like I said, the plot isn't necessarily spectacular, nor is it supposed to be. The movie really focuses on the music and choreography, which I'll get into. Despite the plot not being anything mind-blowing, it doesn't have to be. If a movie allows the plot to take a backseat overall and still be a good movie, it's a great movie, for the most part. This movie doesn't rely on its plot to drive the audience, but rather the well-choreographed action sequences and music. This movie is also not very predictable, adding to the suspense. There are countless scenes where I have absolutely no idea what could happen, and while it's not necessarily "edge-of-your-seat" suspense, it's still intense and exciting to watch.

Action: The opening chase scene is done nearly perfectly. It's the complete opposite of the car chase in the movie "Bullitt". Instead of complete silence, music is blaring, and the chase is synced along with the music. It was edited and shot perfectly. Another great thing about the action scenes in this movie is that it doesn't rely on shaky-cam. You can pretty much always tell what is going on on-screen during the chase scenes. It also had to be edited perfectly so it would sync with the music. I can't help but appreciate all the work put into clearing the music for use, incorporating it into the script, choreographing it, and then filming it, and resulting in a really fun movie. That's all this movie is supposed to be. A fun, wild ride of a movie with added suspense so you don't get bored, and plenty of good action. It doesn't boast a good plot or even too many memorable characters, but I absolutely loved pretty much every minute just because it was so fun to watch.

Overall, Baby Driver is a great summer movie to watch with friends and have a good time. I can't imagine how hard it was to put all this together, and I applaud Edgar Wright for putting it together so perfectly. If this movie didn't have the choreographed music, it wouldn't be the same. Of course, then the movie may try to compensate for the lack of fun in the action scenes, and expand on the plot, which may or may not have worked, but I loved the movie just the way it was. It gets a 9 and not a 10 simply because it doesn't really introduce anything new besides the action and music.… Expand

He is not interested in the robbery nor the money, but 'Spacey' would not let him quit. He threatens the people that Baby loves to force him to continue. It all comes down to the last job, where things do not go according to plan.
> Pros:
> 1) The concept of syncing the action to the song played at the time is fresh and interesting. >
2) The film is smart in many ways. For example, the characters all use pseudonyms to hide their real identities. Their real names were later revealed in due time and in interesting ways that brings up their backgound, hence character development. Other examples include the escape plan and its execution, and what happens when things don't go according to plan.

Cons:
>
1) The volume is rather loud.

2) Unfortunately, I am not familiar with many of the songs used, nor were the song right-away likable, unlike those in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 1.

3) There's a lot of violence in this film.

I have always felt that people shouldn’t be OK with mediocre or **** screenplays in action movies just because we’re talking about „just action movies“ or „just entertainment“.
I can’t enjoy bad writing or lots of tired cliches in any genre, and luckily once in a while I do come across a good action movie which has, among other good things, a quality storytelling.
„Baby Driver“ is one of those – easily one of the best action movie of the summer, of the year and recent times.
I love almost everything about it, although I think it would benefit from a more compact final act which turns out to be a overlong series of chases, some by car, some by foot.
The main man behind all that goodness is Edgar Wright, director and a sole screenwriter. Yeah, I had to look his name up from IMDb, too.
Wright has already given birth to some modern classics already, namely cult action comedies „Shaun of the Dead“ and „Hot Fuzz“ (paving way to the stardom of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost) and „Scott Pilgrim vs. the World“ (one of the most constantly entertaining comic-based movies ever). And „Baby Driver“ may well be his best, most fully realized work yet.
One would think that a story based on driving cars fast can't give us anything fresh, but „Baby Driver“ actually manages to breath a lot of new life into this.
According to the makers, tricks and chases do not rely on computer effects, and the result is one memorable adrenaline-pumping mayhem indeed.
But there’s much more to it than fast cars. The movie is above average in every aspect I can think of – character-building, storytelling, creating suspense, making the actors look cool (an important thing for any action movie!).
The visual side is a constant source of pleasure as well, it’s carefully and masterfully orchestrated, down to details and including the inventive use of pop music which turns out to be quite an important part of the whole result.
All that seems to have inspired actors too whose work is memorable all-around. Wright seems to have almost Tarantino-like talent to make actors cool, or formerly quite cool actors interesting again. Case in point: Jamie Foxx and Jon Hamm in „Baby Driver“.
The central weight of the story still lies on one character, Baby. And this turns out to be one of the rare instances in action movies where giving a lot of backstory to central hero pays off totally and doesn’t bore at all.
Any of the ten million generic superhero movies made in past, present and future should learn from that. (BTW, Wright has co-written "Ant-Man" and Spielberg's "Tintin".)
Ansel Elgort has previously starred as Caleb in „Divergent“ series, which is some YA crap or other. He was also in „The Fault in Our Stars“ (also YA, but not crappy) and Jason Reitman’s forgettable „Men, Women & Children“. But „Baby Driver“ could be his true ticket to wider fame, and this young man is likable enough to deserve it.
The only thing a bit unattractive about „Baby Driver“ is its title, although you will understand and like it more once you have started watching.
It’s the best 112 minutes I’ve spent watching action movie in a long time. Give it a chance. It kicks ass.… Expand

The film is about a young getaway driver named Baby (Ansel Elgort) who has been associated with a crime boss for most of his life and begins to partake in a series of heists which in exchange will provide him with the life that he wants.

Edgar Wright is without a doubt one of the most unique filmmakers working today and what makes each of his films clearly stand out from one another is how he incorporates style into each of his films, and I don't think there's ever been a case in any of his films where he has preferred style over substance. He uses the style aspect of the film to his advantage and essentially the style ends up creating the substance in his films, and this film is a prime example of that.

An interesting supplement to the film was the music which was evidently going to be frequently present as made clear by the marketing, however I was very impressed with how the music was integrated with the filmmaking itself; I very much appreciated the fact that it wasn't simply just there to make certain scenes/sequences more fun and entertaining or just to make more profits off of a soundtrack, and instead it was used to help develop multiple things about the film from the characters to the world that the film takes place in.

One of the big highlights of the film is of course the car chases which are easily among some of the best I've ever seen in a film to date. Not only were they excellently shot (no shaky cam), choreographed and also edited, the stylistic parts of the film really helped add the adrenaline to each sequence; from the very first scene, the build-up of music adds an unbelievable amount of tension and excitement all at once and when the chase finally begins you are immediately on the edge of your seat.

The performances are great all-around; Ansel Elgort does a great job as the main character of Baby and while he does have a quiet persona, it avoids turning him into a bland, lifeless character and instead the music and style of the film helps us relate to him with his inner passion and understand his character. Another notable performance is Jon Hamm in a great performance as quite a challenging character.

I know that I've mentioned the music and style multiple times but it is easily the most surprisingly important element of the entire film as it not only provides an entertaining backtrack to multiple sequences, it also helps realise plenty of the characters, Baby in particular; as I stated earlier his character doesn't speak much but we're able to learn so much about him as the music appears as some sort of demonstration of his personality and we learn everything we need to about the characters without the need for exposition to explain them. In conclusion, the style creates the substance.

The film retains an incredible pace throughout (a notable element in all Edgar Wright films) and also has a great deal of humour too, also in multiple places it goes in directions that you may not expect and cleverly avoids the clichés which makes for an even more thrilling ride.

Overall, Baby Driver was a constantly thrilling, excellently paced, expertly crafted film that uses the style to its advantage which creates a very unique film which will undoubtedly become a classic in later years. I highly recommend it.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. FIRST PARAGRAPH IS SPOILER FREE!
WOW! From what I've seen, this is Edgar Wright's best film yet. The action scenes, the car chases and the comedy are what make this film bloody amazing. All the characters in this film were needed to make the story expect Griff (Jon Bernthal). It wasn't full on comedy like all the films in the 3 flavors Cornetto trilogy which I was expecting because the trailers weren't that funny, and were not supposed to be. The film just has jokes sprinkled throughout the film which I liked. Overall, one of the best films I've seen and if you love Edgar Wright, you obviously have to see this film. Can't wait for that Blu-Ray!

LAST WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD!

WTF JUST HAPPENED. As soon as Bats died, this film was extremely **** up. They were great surprises that made sense, unlike Hot Fuzz which was really silly and couldn't take seriously. Debora (Lily James) was a pretty dumb character. When Baby shot Buddy, she just goes with him without any concerns whatsoever and just goes along with him. She instantly becomes a criminal starts hurting people. WHAT!? I like how Doc (Kevin Spacy) stayed on Baby's side no matter what. Showing a true Father and son bond. Although they're not related. He died a hero, trying to save him by trying to kill Buddy and then gets ran over. Then 10 mins later, he gets shot in the leg, falls off a ledge and **** dies. The fact that pretty much every character dies other then a few made really have to walk the film off.… Expand

Overall, my only minor complaint is that it isn't quite as fresh or original as I had hoped, as there are a few cliches to be found here and there, such as a music-loving protagonist (not unlike Guardians of the Galaxy, which I thought featured a slightly better and more recognizable soundtrack overall in comparison), among a couple others. Other than that, this is one charming joy ride of a film that I'd say is definitely worth checking out!… Expand

The music, cinematography, and fast paced editing give the film a really unique style you cannot help but get into. The story also does a terrific job of balancing light and dark themes. Certain points in the movie have a lot of heart whereas others are not afraid to get violent. You get to see the contrast between different characters; some believe in making moral decisions whereas others only look out for themselves. This adds a really interesting dynamic between the main characters. Overall I loved Baby Driver, it was everything I was hoping it to be.

This flick is not burdened by big budget CGI and it lets the action drive excitement through a refreshing love story. The remarkable soundtrack (including Egyptian reggae!) is tightly choreographed to the action scenes. Rhythmic gunshots and even lyrical graffiti add a sense of play that contrasts the deep menace and foreboding as the body count rises and mayhem ensues.

At its heart, the movie has a moral, even as the body count rises. Baby evades the police in downtown Atlanta not because they bumble, but because his skill and planning are exceptional. The camera captures the action sequences without causing confusion or overdoing the jump-cuts. The car stunts are exciting because of the context. By avoiding ramps and keeping all four wheels on the road, the high-speed chases become believable.

The flick tips its hat to the movies that inspired it, including Goldfinger and The Blues Brothers, among many others. One nit: the use of the word "retard" in the flick and in the soundtrack grinds at my modern sensibilities (which allow for gunplay, violence and murder among the characters).… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First and foremost, Baby Driver is a lot of fun. By now most people know that it's a series of music videos set to car chases turned into a feature length film which is a great idea and it's executed with aplomb.

The car chases are cool, nothing ground-breaking but they're visceral and real and again, fun. The music matches the scenes brilliantly for the most part. The opening chase set to Bellbottoms is perfect and so is Baby play-dancing down the street to the Harlem Shuffle. Sometimes the music feels a bit too on the nose. Would someone like Baby really only listen to music like this from the 60s and 70s, pretty obscure stuff? Just because his mom left him these iPods? He has no taste that he's formed on his own.

This feeling of affectation permeates a lot of this film. It's enjoyable enough that it doesn't matter that much but it does prevent the film from becoming more than its trappings. It can be a bit scatterbrained and meaningless. Not in a brilliant pure pulp kind of way either - make no mistake, this film like most of Wright's films, wants you to care about the characters and make a connection but it doesn't quite achieve that.

The story is pretty standard fare for a film like this. One last job, kid with a heart of gold mixed up with the wrong crowd, perfect girl waiting in the wings for him to get out. Ansel Elgort is alright. There's a lot being said that he isn't nearly charismatic enough for this role, and though I would agree, I also think that's part of his character - he's in over his head acting cool to stay sane.

The problem is that just enough of his backstory is filled in for the audience to feel that it isn't quite right. His parents died in a wreck, so he became a badass driver - presumably to overcome his fear of car accidents - then became a bad kid with a lot of emotional problems. Somewhere in here a deaf man adopts him (did Baby know sign language before this? why would he? is this even allowed?) and Baby gets involved with Doc against his will (though based on the fact that he was stealing at the time, you think this would be a win win?) and then sometime later he becomes a good kid again who can't look away from the violence he's helping create. It all has the feeling of plot set-up exposition and may have been better left unexplained.

Everyone in this is like a comic book character, it's built into their nicknames and their personalities but Bats is the one character grounded in reality and Jamie Foxx imbibes him with the kind of gravitas this movie needed more of - he's great enough that it feels special (that speech about Hamm being a wall street guy who ran away with his stripper is good enough to have thematic weight but not indulged enough for pulp) but there's not enough of his impact for it to hit all the way home. Bats won't let Baby escape into his music and forget about reality - but it could also just be that his character is plot to motivate Baby into finally making a change. Debra literally exists as a figment of Baby's imagination (at least she could be). A girl her age, with her temperament, would not be starting some dive diner waitress job with no boyfriend or outside life to speak of. All we know is that she has a mom she took care of, but then what? She's a plot cipher too involved for that to work as is. Dialogue between her and Baby has a crisp pulp feel to it but it doesn't quite work because the film can't quite decide if it should be taken seriously or not.

The ending is up for debate and I read some interviews with the cast that say it's only in Baby's head. This isn't that kind of bleak nihilistic movie so I took the ending at face value. And as for Baby's hearing it's impossible to tell what happened. It seemed like a big deal but fades out of mind almost instantly.… Expand

The way the action other small environmental cues are synced to the music is clever and adds a little stylish flair to standard car chases and shootouts. Despite the title, some of the best action sequences take place on foot. Unfortunately, things are quite as good during the scenes where adrenaline isn't in the bloodstream.

The plot is fine and pretty cute. The love story is kind of bland, but does serve it's purpose of giving us another reason to root for Baby. Along the way we run into some crazy characters, all played to perfection by the likes of Jamie Foxx and Jon Hamm. It's a very funny and at times bat-crap crazy movie. The laughs and surreal moments are nice. It's just that overall things feel pretty generic.

Baby Driver has the action and a unique sense of style. The musical side is surprisingly perfect and it features Edgar Wright's fun brand of comedy. Ultimately though, it is held back from greatness by a lack of originality on the base level and the fact that I never actually cared about much that was going on outside of the action and chase scenes. What I mean is that I never connected with Baby as a character and that kind of sucks. Still, Wright shows that a new coat of paint might be all you need to spice up your ride for a little bit. Sure it won't make the age or kinks go away, but at least it's now just different enough to inject some new excitement into the trip.

Just when I thought "Dunkirk" was a surreal movie experience, along comes "Baby Driver". A beautifully directed fast peace film with a mix of comedy and action. Just imagine La La Land, but if it was directed by Michael Mann.

I've been a fan of Edger Wright for awhile, as every film he directs I will watch and support it the best I could. Edgers way of visual comedy and know when to switch tones is achievement of it's own. And I know a lot of film makers struggle with that or don't know how to pull it off. What Edger managed to pull off in "Baby Driver" should convince film studios or the average audience member, he's one of the most gifted directors alive right now. The stunt driving and the brilliant coordination with each scene, it's hard not to love it. This was he's passion project and it freaking shows.

Good thing I watched this on the last week it was playing at my cinema. Imagine me missing this.

The movie is literally driven by music. Because everything is edited to a beat of the music. The way the music tunes with the environment of the characters was both unique and different. Gunshots, car horns, or any action will sync up.

Besides having a story that's been done before and you having a sense of things you know is going to happen, but what stops it from being predictable is you never know how things are gonna play out. Almost like the main characters mindset.

All the acting was pretty superb and everyone added something to their characters. With Jon Hamm being the stand out for me. Even well known actors who didn't do much still shine on their own. Like Kevin Spacey dose he's usual thing and there's nothing wrong with that, as it was suitable for that character.

Overall Rating: "Baby Driver" is extremely thrilling, funny, and a total blast to watch. Stylist with it's colors and music choices. The best mix of all film genres and you have no idea how refreshing to see something like this.

Bullets going along with the beat of the music was beautiful.… Expand

I thought maybe it was an action comedy and had pretty low expectations for it but it turned out to be much better than anticipated. Aside from the stylish getaway scenes and incorporations of music, the movie's story was about much more than fleeing crime scenes.The threat the evil characters pose on the protagonist is evident on several occasions and adds to the tension. Ultimately, this movie is a lot better than I expected and far better than your average movie.… Expand

While the characters are underdeveloped when you take away the Edgar Wright's sheek, especially the romance between Baby and Debora, everything is looked passed with just the tight, energetic editing and direction of Edgar Wright, fantastic performances with Ansel Egort as the lead, John Hamm and Jamie Foxx as robbers, and Kevin Spacy as the head hancho, high speed driving and chase sequences, and one of the best uses of pop music I have ever seen. And of course bonus points for Wright to mix the music in with the visuals with the editing and action taking place within the tunes. Also props to the sound design and production too. This was a movie made for the cinema buff and music nerd like myself!… Expand
