is to head West on 20 in a car I can't afford, with a plan I
don't have, just me, my music, and the road." - Deborah

fast-paced crime flick has a beating heart.
Plot Summary:
Miles, called "Baby" is a getaway driver for a heist crew led by
Doc. Baby just drives and he has a real knack for it. He also is
aloof, always wearing sunglasses and listening to music on his
earbuds (he suffers from tinnitus). Some members of the gang, namely Bats and Griff,
don't like or trust the somber kid. What they all don't know is
that he's got a new girlfriend and wants out of the robbery
business.

Dad's Preview:
This fast-paced crime thriller will hold your attention. The
characters are right out of a Tarantino film, quirky and
dangerous. The car chases, showcasing Baby's skills as the
gang's driver, are
incredible. The movie's real strength is the way everything is all tied together into such watchable package. An
action film like this, dealing with
some really nasty people, can easily devolve and lose focus.
Baby Driver leans into all the meanness and madness, keeps
its path true, and manages to find a little romance
along its way. |
