Forums - Movies & TV - Baby Driver: You Need to See It

So I haven't seen a topic about Edgar Wright's new film, Baby Driver. Featuring Ansel Elgort, Kevin Spacey, Jon Hamm, and Jamie Foxx, the movie focuses on Ansel Elgort playing the character of Baby, a getaway driver working for Kevin Spacey. Spacey's character pieces together heists, and Baby is his key getaway driver who's driving skills and intuitive thinking when it comes to crafting camoflauge even in the midst of a chase is next to none. Baby isn't partial to his job, and after meeting a woman he starts to fall for, a chain of events is triggered that carries the movie through a particularly strong third act.

I was deeply impressed with this movie, not because it is necessarily all that original, but because Edgar Wright's ability to focus on style makes everything standout. Elgort's, Spacey's, and Hamm's characters in particular were excellent. The practical effects were not only appreciated, but well directed. Every chase scene was a treat. I doubt this movie will be a box office blockbuster, but it really will be a standout even in a Summer packed with Wonder Woman, the Planet of the Apes finale, and Spiderman.

This movie comes wholly recommended, and if you like fast cars and interesting characters, you may end up liking this movie as much as me.

Expected an actual baby driver. You lost my attention.

Someone asked my roommate if Baby Driver was anything like Boss Baby, and I wish I had been there to slap that person.



 

Because this didn't get enough attention. I saw it yesterday and it was nothing short of fantastic! Great music and story and everything flowed so well.

Finally a good Sony movie lol, I was nearly going to watch it yesterday but saw Despicable Me 3.

Great movie up until the ending sequence. That brought it from a 5 to a 3. But I love the music syncs with the gun fights. I'd not even heard of this film prior to going to see it and it was definitely worth it.

A mouse & keyboard are made for sending email and typing internet badassery. Not for playing video games!!!

Stop giving those yellow banana loving freak your money!  STOP IT

OT: It's a great movie. It dragged a bit during the middle but everything else was top notch. I heard Sony wants a sequel already but I hope it remains a single movie.

I just finished watching it on your recommendation, solid movie! 9/10 for me.



When I realized I could have been watching this in the theatre instead of Wonder Woman a couple of weeks ago, I was sad :( I probably won't see it now until it hits Netflix or muh TeeVee.

WW was still pretty good though.
