You want excitement? You want fun? You want one of the best damn movies youll see this year? Then you need to get behind the wheel, drive to the nearest theater and see Baby Driver. The story isnt complicated: a getaway driver named Baby lives in his own world, one that has a constant soundtrack. Baby meets a girl, tries to do one last job to leave his life of crime, but like most one last jobs, it doesnt quite work out. Its a simple tale told with masterful moviemaking magic and fresh, frenetic flavor from writer/director Edgar Wright. Wright has taken everything he learned from Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, and The Worlds End and elevated it all into something incredible. Baby Driver is an idea hes had gestating for over twenty years, and you can see every carefully crafted inch of the film reflects his passion, tenacity, and well, drive in making this a modern genre mashup between music video, gangster film, action movie, and fairy tale. That sounds like a mishmosh but trust me, it all gels together into something unbelievably special. Wright has always had a talent for blending music and the moving picture, but hes elevated it into something completely new with Baby Driver. The movie never ceases to have a rhythm and a beat to it. You could spend the entire running time tapping your toes along to the insanely energetic soundtrack. Seriously, this album is going to be this years Awesome Mix. Vol. 1. But its not only the music that makes Baby Driver such a delight. Youve got a cast that is having the time of their lives. Ansel Elgort is a triumph as Baby. You might notice that he has a Han Solo-esque jacket on during the movie, and I kind of wish he was playing the legendary smuggler in the new Han Solo film. Hes that good. Lily James is equally captivating as Debora, and the two have such great chemistry that it would make Walter White smile. The rest of the cast is rounded out by dependable character actors; Kevin Spacey, Jamie Foxx, Jon Hamm, Jon Bernthal, and Elza Gonzalez make up the kind of iconic gangster squad that makes this class of movie shine. And to top it all off, the movie doesnt skimp on the script. This is a tightly told contemporary fable thats as classic as it is innovative. Wright injects humor and pathos in all the right doses so that this doesnt become a style-over-substance glitter piece. Every character is fully formed and gets their moment in the sun. The emotional payoffs are a knockout across the board and will have you invested and engaged at every twist and turn. Youll be shocked, tense, excited, and overjoyed by the time the house lights come up. Its a rollercoaster ride thats going at lightspeed. Baby Driver gets a 5 out of 5. Id give it a 5000 out of 5 if theyd let me. (They wont). It is everything you want from a night at the movies. Fast-paced story, heart-pounding action, swoonworthy romance, colorful characters, laughs, gasps, tears and triumph. Baby Driver is this years Mad Max: Fury Road: a game-changer of unfettered style that will go on to inspire future filmmakers to create cinema. Undoubtedly, Baby Driver is the best film of 2017. It will take a gargantuan achievement to knock it from that spot. As of now, 2017 has found its cinematic champion.
