Review: Baby Driver

Self-confident and highly entertaining multi-heist movie.

Elgort as Baby draws comparisons with Schwarzenegger in Terminator as they both play near wordless, and effortlessly cool & quotable, titular characters while others, like Spacey, Hamm, Foxx and James, do the acting heavy lifting.

Particular praise must also be awarded for whomever chose the soundtrack and the editing certain parts of the film to the beat of it.

The film meanders slightly towards the end, but even I still finished it with a smile on my face.

This is how I imagined the Fast and Furious franchise to be like before I watched it - instead of the turgid humour-free zone it actually was.

Verdict: Be my baby.
