Baby Driver is a film directed by Edgar Wright ( Scott Pilgrim against the world, fatal weapon ) and has a cast consisting of Ansel Elgort ( Under the same star, Men, women & children ), Lily James ( Cinderella, Pride + Prejudice + Zombies, Downton Abbey series ).

Tired of this lifestyle and meet the standards of this robber, the young man decides to perform the last mission before retiring. But Doc is not going to make it easy, and less after learning that Baby feels something for a young lady named Deborah.

Driver for bank robbers, Baby only counts on himself to be the best in his party. When he meets the girl of his dreams, he seeks to put an end to his criminal activities and return to the right path. But he is forced to work for a big boss of crime and the robbery turns bad. Now his freedom, his future with the girl he loves and his life are at stake.

Before some advertising executive from the distributor of the last and excellent work of the always-brimming Edgar Wright we were bandaged as the La Land of the thriller (which is not a bad definition: the film is, especially at the beginning, a Crossing between the overrated tape of Damien Chazelle and the Drive of Nicholas Winding Refn) say that, first and foremost.

Baby Driver is what Walter Hill would have done in the French novel vague. Hill makes a cameo in the film and is in the dedication/declaration of love of the final credits. And Walter Hill is in the idea of mixing a violent and stylized noir at the same time (which was already referring to Driver) since he dreamed the genre in an abstract and musical way in Streets of Fire and the epilog of the film Le Kisses on the morrow with the league. the Baby protagonist.
