The director Edgar Wright had a perfect story line for how the movie would go and bringing together actors like Jamie Fox, Jon Hamm, Kevin Spacey and Lily James made it even more exciting.
Ansel Elgort who played Baby in the movie, had to totally rely on the beat of his personally selected tunes to be at his very best on any given mission. He was forced into working with a well-known notorious criminal (Kevin Spacey).
Baby was a getaway driver, addicted to music, he could drive anything and drive through anywhere. He was well calculated and coordinated and he preferred to drive smaller cars with very fast engines and responsive systems. He was so good at driving, it was more than just his hobby, driving was his life and he just couldn’t do without it, even without being paid, he just loved driving. Baby listened properly to every detail even though his ears were constantly plugged and on some occasions the team members would get offended because they felt he was unfocused and could get them into trouble with the cops, but they were totally wrong.
Jamie Foxx also played a lead role in this movie, which was basically about the boss (Kevin) selecting the best of skilled robbers to accompany Baby on a mission. They had various missions from robbing the bank to post offices and anyway valuables where kept. Baby’s job technically was just to get them there and bring them back without being caught, and he was great at it.
Not your regular kind of movie, but it was good and totally loved it.
