Baby Driver Film Review

Finished watching Baby Driver, directed by Edgar Wright and starring Ansel Elgort, Jon Hamm, Eliza González, Jon Bernthal, Kevin Spacey, Lily James and CJ Jones. The film opens up to a bank heist as getaway driver, Baby (Ansel Elgort) is waiting outside as criminals Buddy (Jon Hamm), Darling (Eliza González) and Griff (Jon Bernthal) have all been hired by the mastermind behind multiple heists Doc (Kevin Spacey) who Baby is in dept to and has been paying the dept of by being the getaway driver for most Doc's jobs. After sorting out the money and the crew going their separate ways Baby heads to a local diner where he meets Debora (Lily James) who he instantly falls for which eventually becomes a problem when Doc calls on Baby for another job. Overall this was a great film as it delivers on some great and suspense car chases while enough comedy and drama mix within. The way the music within the film accompanies the film as a whole is astonishing thanks to the way the film has been edited to match the beet and tone of each song to its respective scene. The character interactions throughout the film are great as the relationship that forms between Baby and Debora feels very organic while other interaction primarily those from the cast of criminals and Baby's foster father Joseph (CJ Jones) helps to bring a nice amount of comedy and realism to the film thanks to how well their relationship is shown. 8.5/10.
