The Review

Making film wih theme of someone who is good at driving, and packed with cool, yes like, Transporter series, Italian Job to Drive (forget the racing movie that has entered the eighth series). Everything presents a finesse in the cool driver driving the eye while in action on the screen. However, the English Filmmaker, Edgar Wright, known via his Blood & Ice Cream trilogy (starting with Shaun of the Dead), tried to present something different. With a more modern look but also paying homage to the classic works of its predecessor.

As a tough driver named Baby (Ansel Englort) a young actor who is popular after appearing in the teen drama, Fault in Our Stars. Without a word, Baby becomes the steering helper of Doc (Kevin Spacey), the head of a mysterious criminal gang that recruits the people of his choice to carry out his illegitimate illegal actions. Baby who was trapped in the cunning ploy of Doc's debt to be willing to enter into his criminal circle, then met Deborah "Debby" (Lily James) the sweet-looking diner waitress who captivated her heart. Determined to leave his shoddy job, Baby is caught up in the dilemma of a new man by the Doc, Bats (Jamie Foxx) starts to screw up and act arbitrarily. Destructive plan of many parties in it.

Honestly in outline, there was nothing new that Wright had to offer from the movie that he had written himself. The story is generic and appears superficial on the surface. What makes it interesting is Wright's dynamic directorial and fictional characters are strong enough on the screen. The ranks of big names involved like Spacey, Foxx, Jon Hamm to new star Eiza Gonzalez appear alluring on screen. Not just as a sweetener supporting plots, they also have a balanced portion of each other. The two main stars Englort and James, able to look quite compact and quite tying the emotions on the screen. Bringing the narrative of his movie as young as Rebel Without a Cause.

But the most memorable thing of Baby Driver is the music selection. Wright knew exactly what to play when the movie was running, the song was the main cast for Wright. Channeling this ordinary story becomes interesting when presented with it. Lots of good scenes (including when Baby and Debby danced in the cleaners) synergize beautifully with the strains of the song. Including inserts, Baby habits that can not be separated from his i-pod in action. And that's what helped at least the plot that seems to me quite generic, although at 1/4 finally far from the word cliche and twisted well.

Baby Driver may not be as good as the great compliment that accompanies the movie out there. But it must be admitted that Wright is a top-notch director. His guidance as well as his capable players play capable of catapulting his manuscript  too strong. It may take some time to see if the film is capable of leaving a deep impression on the mind. But for now, may call it a dynamic and fashionable movie this year.
