Ansel Elgort didn’t really have many lines to learn for this heist movie. His “Baby” - that’s B A B Y if you're the barista, is the ultimate getaway driver. Hand-break turns, smoking brakes and driving the wrong way up the freeway whilst being pursued by the entire police force holds no problems for him, and that impresses his boss “Doc” (Kevin Spacey). Now he's not doing this voluntarily, nor is he being well paid for his efforts - he owes him one more job as penance for an earlier misdemeanour. With that last job done, he thinks he will be free to court waitress “Debora” (Lily James) and get on with his life. Sadly, not, though. “Doc” has one more job to do, and for that “Baby” must work with his volatile team including "Bats” (Jamie Foxx) and “Griff” (Jon Bernthal) who are like opposing sides of the same coin, and who take risks that make the driver suspect that this job will be impossible. Meanwhile, the Walkman loving lad has an habit of making tapes of not just an eclectic mix of rock music, but also of some conversations that perhaps he ought not to have. When “Doc” discovers the latter, things become way more perilous not just for “Baby” but for everyone! Might anyone emerge from this task alive? I found the energetic Elgort really quite charismatic here; there is loads of high-octane action reminiscent of an “F&F” feature and there is quite a decent soundtrack to follow their escapades that lead to a denouement that isn’t exactly what I was expecting. Neither Spacey nor Foxx really add much memorable here, but Bernthal goes through the mill for his art and James looks like she is enjoying herself as the action hots up and her role gets a bit more involved. No, it won't trouble a jury for it’s writing or acting, but it doesn’t hang about from start to finish and makes robbing banks and post offices look really quite easy!

Like music beats? Like movies? You've never seen the two combined like this before. On the surface, this is an action-heist movie. But look again...with your ears. The visual beats are in time with the soundtrack. It's utterly mesmerising.

I guess this is one of those movies that you're not supposed to like because meh politics and meh hipster and meh outrage culture and... reasons that really make no sense and are ultimately meaningless. At least that is what a good bulk of the negative reviews say. So let's not talk about meh politics and focus on the movie instead. My wife put it on, and I have never heard of it. I, legit, thought she was talking about Simon and Garfunkel when she started talking about it. "Do you want to watch Baby Driver?" Honest mistake, she's part Guatemalan, her English isn't all that great... watch, listen to, whatever. Anyway, I was in the kitchen cooking and I missed the first part... but I was digging the music. In fact I was digging the music so much that I started going to and from the living room, just because the soundtrack was that compelling. A great mixture of old and new. And then it was Kevin Spacey and Jamie Foxx, and you really want to see that. Both of them can turn a theatrical trick or two when they want to, and it always kind of seems that Spacey always wants to... and the soundtrack. And then when I finished cooking and we started eating in front of the television, I really started noticing the ringing when the music wasn't playing. And that was irritating... until my wife filled me in on the back story and then it was an "ah-ha," moment of coolness. It was fairly compelling that they did that, and ran with it like they did. And, I can't be absolutely positive, but it didn't like it had that much CGI, and that is a plus. It looked incredibly real, like the good old days, so even through you are watching a movie filtered through an Ipod... it had an authentic action movie feel to it. Over all, it was incredibly enjoyable fun... and that is why you watch movies like this, right? Because they are fun? So, 10 stars, mission accomplished, it was one heck of a fun film.

There is an episode of Tales from the Crypt wherein the protagonist’s conscience sounds just like – and is played by – Sam Kinison. OH! OH! AAAUGH! This is only slightly worse than tinnitus but still slightly better than Baby Driver, the story of an idiot savant who is the best getaway driver in Atlanta – with the caveat that he needs to listen to his iPod; when at the mercy of FM radio, Baby (Ansel Elgort) becomes Tyrone from Snatch. Baby suffers from tinnitus. To drown out the ringing in his ears, Baby constantly listens to music – which is like putting out a fire with gasoline – even when fleeing at full speed from the scene of a crime. Right. Children, do not play loud music on your headphones while driving a vehicle. Baby is in love with a waitress named Deborah. The coffee shop where Deborah works must be worse than the Carson McCullers’s Sad Café; how else can you explain her piss-poor decision-making? Deborah has no problem running away with a guy who 1) she practically just met, 2) like Cameron Diaz's brother in There's Something About Mary, loses his sh*t when someone touches his precious earphones, 3) associates freely with criminals, 4) is himself a criminal, 5) has “every clean and dirty cop” after him, and 6) constantly puts her in danger (Deborah is willing to wait five years for Baby to get out of jail. She had to make a living somehow during that time, so I guess the cafeteria wasn't so bad after all). Maybe it's true that women like “bad boys” – which Baby most certainly is, regardless of how innocent the movie wants us to think he is. During the third act Baby is directly or indirectly responsible for four deaths; almost five when he uses Deborah as bait to distract the psychopathic Buddy (Jon Hamm). And speaking of psychos, Bats (Jamie Foxx) is basically Motherf---er Jones from Horrible Bosses on crack – in spite of which he is the only sensible character in the film (“The driver must be the eyes and ears, not just the eyes”). On the plus side, there is an admittedly funny moment concerning a discussion about the difference between a Halloween (as in the horror film) mask and a Mike Myers mask. Moreover, Kevin Spacey is a delight as always, and to no one’s surprise he and Foxx have the best lines – or at least the best delivery.

**Overall : Everything about Baby Driver is fresh, fun, and unique. Don't let this one get away!** Baby Driver stands out as a brilliant, unique, and fun piece of cinema art with its outstanding writing, perfect cast, exceptional stunt work, bold colors, and so much more. This movie gets everything right. However, this film's most impressive feature lies in its soundtrack. The music is a character of the movie interacting with other characters - its beats matching and punctuating what is happening on screen throughout the entire film. One of my favorite heist movies and probably one of my favorite movies of all time.
