Baby Driver

vroom vroom bitches know they can't catch me

"What the fuck is this mask?"
"Austin Powers."
"Doc said Michael Myers!"
"This is Mike Myers!"
"It should be the Halloween mask."
"This is a Halloween mask!"
"No, the killer dude from Halloween!"
"Oh, you mean Jason."
"No!"

Where do I even start with this? From the first scene right through to the very last credit, _Baby Driver_ is an utterly absorbing blast of absolutely fabulous music and choreography. This isn't an action movie, it's a musical! Oh, man, the _music!_ Even the tracks pulled from genres that I normally don't like just blended together so well. There is no way this film can _not_ win at least one Oscar next week, for sound editing or mixing. It's all _so_ well done.

Ansel Elgort\* just _kills_ it as the titular driver (called Baby, because what else would his name be?). Rarely have I seen such a young actor disappear so completely into a role—and he's in _every scene_. I was impressed by his seemingly effortless performances, and intrigued by the character. When a character is truly interesting, the way Elgort's Baby is, it's like a breath of fresh air after all the bored, tired, flat stereotypes we usually see in big Hollywood films. Baby isn't unique, by any means—plenty of characters in film, television, and stage plays get their core drive from some sentimental attachment to the past—but it's his way of moving, of taking what life throws at him, that makes Baby an interesting young man to watch. Most of the seemingly stock characters in _Baby Driver_ come alive, actually, and that's a major credit to all the actors involved.

On the action side, there's a bit of _Die Hard_ feel thrown in there, just for fun. The police chases feel pulled straight out of _The Blues Brothers_. The nods in this film keep coming, and they don't stop coming (but sadly that song was neither referenced nor used).

I'm throwing away my movie rating rubric for this one. I don't care how predictable or far-fetched the plot is, it's a "totally ninja" ride!

\* — Elgort's father was a photographer, so it's not hard to guess why he was named Ansel.

Really enjoyed this - way better than those stupid churned-out Furious chase movies... it actually has a story... and acting!

Fantastic Movie!! Seen It 6 Times In Theaters!!

It was all I expected it to be, and then some. The movie felt like it was constructed around its soundtrack and not the other way around. Great acting across the board. Classic story with a twist.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie! I decided to watch this film on a whim and am glad I did, especially because of the sound techniques that they used throughout the movie. It's just so aesthetically (?) pleasing to hear on my end when it connects with what is happening on the screen.

Looking for an action filled , hesisted car chased paced Soulful Sounding movie then go grab " Baby Driver "

This high adrenaline block buster has a star studded ensemble from ..

I not only totally this movie i am jamming to the Soundtrack on my Spotify Playlist !

This kid has the best taste in music ever. I envy him. I mean not his situation in life of course, but more his knowledge about music. Because my god the soundtracks here were on point. It had me jamming while a damn heist was going on in the background. The plot was fantastic. The movie was thrilling and exhilarating. And just the different take on the usual heist movie was what really interested me. Not just this is the plan, get in get out type of thing, but instead, we have this kid with a strong personality, no parents or siblings, and is stuck inside this shitty heist business, where he obviously doesn't belong in. I highly recommend it.

This movie is great. Is so good, and his amazing soundtrack make the difference. I really loved!!!
