If you’re looking for a recent film with many action scenes, good music, well-known young actors and whose plot is different from what you usually see, then you’ll love Baby Driver.
This film follows the story of Baby, a young gateway driver who’s forced to work for Doc, a criminal master specialized in bank robbery in order to pay his debts. Just when Baby thinks he’s finally free from this job and more than ready to begin a new life with his new love-interest Debora, Doc threats him to come back for another job. Baby finds himself working in a team with psychotic killers on a mission that puts not only his life in danger but also Debora’s. The film is located in the USA.
The style is a real breath of fresh hair. When I went to see this film, I certainly didn’t except anything spectacular. We already get into the mood with the beginning of the film. Baby, the main character, is really good at driving and shows it in the first scene. The thing I liked the most was how they managed to put the music. When Baby was a child, he was involved in a car accident which damaged his hearing. Since then he keeps hearing a continuous sound. In order not to hear that noise and to stay focused on everyday life, he always listens to songs through his earphones so every scene in the film is filled with music and it gives the impression that the actors’ movements are synchronized with the soundtrack. The acting is really good, all the characters are diversified. They may seem a little cliché and annoying sometimes but you never except what’s happening. Plus the director of this film, Edgar Wright, is a well-known director. He’s made many successful films (the Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy, Scott Pilgrim...). If you know him and you like his style, you’ll add Baby Driver to the list of your favourite films.
