Baby Driver" is one of the best driving films you"ll see
Written by Vijay Pattni
Cue the music. Our hero Baby sits in a cherry red Subaru Impreza WRX, waiting to spear off into the distance after a dastardly bank heist. He"s got tinnitus from a childhood accident. He only works with earphones so the music drowns out his pain. And when the music drops, so does our hero"s foot onto the accelerator.Cue the sideways. Baby, now with cargo on board (robbers, money, attitude), is on the run from the cops, and manages to do things to the Scooby that are probably banned in several countries. He powerslides. He J-turns. He rockets through the streets and alleyways of Atlanta like a demented Uber driver.And breathe. This initial chase sequence sets off one of the most thrilling, inventive and original heist movies you"ll likely ever see. And, happily for petrolheads, is actually one of the best driving movies you"ll ever watch. No argument.It follows our hero, Baby (Ansel Elgort), working for Atlanta crime boss Doc (Kevin Spacey) as a getaway driver, with a roster of goons for hire (Jon Hamm, Jamie Foxx) robbing banks. But what makes this unique is that director Wright mapped out the music first, and laid down the action and beats on top.It"s a thriller like no other it"s essentially a very, very cool musical, with the hero-forced-to-do-one-last-job plotline as the window dressing. The character beats even their movements follow the beats to each handpicked song, and amazingly, it all works seamlessly.
