Baby Driver (2017 Edgar Wright & scr)

First thoughts - Edgar Wright's most cohesive film, an actual thrillery plot, rather than a way of stringing together pastiches of other genres (which are undeniably brilliant). No doubt there are references to older road / bank heist movies like Vanishing Point but this is also unique in the way its scenes are perfectly cut and choreographed to the inspired and unusual music choices. It may be a bit predictable in places but there's absolutely tons going on to keep the attention engaged.

Ansel Egort and Lily James make an attractive couple. Is this going to be the last Kevin Spacey film? With Jaimie Foxx, Jon Hamm, Eiza Gonzalez.


There's something of John Huston to it, I thought...
