Review of Baby Driver (2017) by Cole S — 10 Jul 2017

Rhythmic and entertaining through the whole film. I haven't had that much fun at the theater in a long time, I couldn't stop smiling. This is a masterpiece of harmony between film and music lying right on the lines of a Quentin Tarantino master piece, hays off to Edgar Wright.

In the debt of a master of robberies, Doc (Kevin Spacey), a youngster named Baby (Ansel Elgort) who has impaired hearing due to an accident as a kid, constantly listens to music to soothe the buzzing while simultaneously serving as one of the best getaway drivers in the business. Criminal "passengers" throughout the movie include Buddy (John Hamm), madly in love and an experienced henchman, and Bats (Jamie Foxx), a short-tempered murderer. Down the road (no pun intended) Baby finds someone he loves more than driving and music combined, a cute waitress by the name of Debora (Lily James), and instantly falls in love. Getting dragged into one more heist that he knows is doomed to fail he longs to get away from it all and drive away listening to his tracks with his girl right next to him. Finally facing the inevitable day of the heist everything goes wrong and his life, love, and freedom are thrown into jeopardy.

Every scene, line, transition, and movement is perfectly executed and matches perfectly with the beat of the tunes. This is what sold me to deem this the best movie of the summer of 2017.

If you like music, fast cars, and lust for a movie that has something special and unique than this is for you.
