Review of Baby Driver (2017) by Richard S — 12 Jan 2018

I'm a bit late to the party but I finally got around to watching what must be the coolest film of 2017. Edgar Wright has created a heist thriller that exudes excitement, tension, humour and heart. The story doesn't bring anything new to the genre as we find the Baby Driver of the title forced to use his skills behind the wheel in service of big baddie Kevin Spacey.

However the way the story is told is refreshing as it's not only the characters that bring the story to life but the awesome soundtrack. The film makes exceptional use of the soundtrack as the well choreographed car chases are perfectly synced with the music playing in Baby's ears, as are his actions out of the car too.

Well worth seeing and well worth listening to the soundtrack.
