Baby Driver
This is not a sneak preview. This film has already released.
No one puts Baby in the corner... because he belongs in the driver's seat.
It's "The Transporter" meets "Ocean's 11" meets "Bonnie & Clyde" meets "The Getaway" when a hearing impaired young man named Baby (Ansel Elgort) is coerced into being the getaway driver for a crime boss (Kevin Spacey) & his gang of thieves. Jaime Foxx, Jon Hamm, Eiza Gonzalez, & Lily James are well cast in the major supporting roles. Director/writer Edgar Wright has married a fabulous sound track to a slick action thrill ride. Key music selections flow through the film driving the action & pacing the rhythm of some elaborate choreography. It's a feast for the ears & eyes. Colorful & intense characters light up the screen. Spacey, Foxx, Hamm, & Gonzalez play very scary bad guys that you wouldn't want to hang around. James is the sweet waitress that captures Baby's heart. The stunts are absolutely amazing & done without any CGI aid. Just when you think you are breaking for the finish line, another twist keeps the wheels spinning. With a hum in the drum & the beat on the street, you'll hear the squeal of the wheel so just buckle up, hang on, & enjoy the ride.

Alien gives it 3½ "talented wheelman" stars out of 4.
