Baby Driver - Edgar Wright
Action & Adventure / Drama - R - 2017
A mysterious, young getaway driver relies on his personal soundtrack to guide him through a world of thieves and criminals. When his freedom and love-life are threatened, he turns up the music for the ride of his life.
Let me just start by saying, although I missed the theatrical release, I was hyped to see this. I love the foreshadowing and storytelling in Wright’s Cornetto Trilogy, (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, & The World’s End) so I knew that his talent would translate well into a new genre. This is an extremely fun movie. The chase scenes are thrilling/well-choreographed and it has a great cast (aside from Kevin Spacey..) The soundtrack is fantastically done, as well. Wright’s signature foreshadowing and strong storytelling really bring it all together. A thrill ride all the way to the climax. Also great if you are looking for an action-over-plot.
