Baby Driver
Baby Driver is an electric action flick with plenty of high-octane car chases and gangster violence to fulfill quotas for all The Fast and the Furious series combined. It’s also a beautiful piece of musical theatre. Because of Baby’s (Ansel Elgort) tinnitus, he needs to have music blaring in his ears at all times in order to focus. For Baby, there’s a certain rhythm to the world that other people can’t understand. But Edgar Wright gives us a glimpse into the getaway driver’s world by perfectly timing every single bullet shot, squeal of rubber tires, and background explosion to the beat of whatever song is playing inside Baby’s head. Since Wright refused to use any green screens or CGI, this meant the stunt crew and actors had to hit all of their markers perfectly to stay on track, and the attention to detail shows.
