Baby Driver 2017

"What's with the earbuds?"
"Just his music."
"Yeah, he's loony. He's just like his tunes."

This was B-A-N-A-N-A-S!! Drive meets Money Heist. The story isn't anything particularly original on paper but this is how it's done right. Perfect mix of adrenaline action, quality Edgar Wright comedy, effective emotional beats and even a good romance subplot. Very stylish and the soundtrack is on fire.

Ansel Elgort nailed it as the main character, what they did with him and the music is pretty clever. The characters are so fun and the interactions between them very entertaining. Jamie Foxx is a standout, he was hilarious. I liked Jon Bernthal at the beginning but he just disappeared from the movie for some reason. Kevin Spacey is both hilarious and scary. Lily James and Ansel Elgort have great chemistry.

I'm totally surprised by the quality of the action here, it was spectacular. Some of the best chases i've seen, be it by car or on foot. The editing, camerawork and quick camera changes make it look even better. It was an 8/10 before the third but it totally deserves a 9/10 because that third act was perfect. Can't wait to rewatch this!

I wanted to hear the "Mozart in a Go Kart" song so bad
