Well, John Hamm is not the main character in "Baby Driver," but it is a name I thought people would recognize as opposed to Ansel Elgort. Elgort is the main character in this fast-paced action movie that is heavily dependent on it's soundtrack. Elgort's character of Baby is also heavily dependent on music soundtracks. It is his soundtrack to life after his parents had died in a horrible auto accident with him in the car when he was a very young child. Cars and music are intertwined with violence in this movie that may remind some of "Gone in 60 Seconds."
There was a lot of hype for this film that was directed and written by Edgar Wright. I did not want to believe it. As I was watching the movie I was nitpicking certain scenes, but in the end the movie won me over entirely. Yes, there are a few plot holes, but like potholes in a road, the movie circumvents them with it's style, action and music.
"Baby Driver" is early Tarantino without the 'n' words. I guess we are in a more politically correct time now.
Basically the plot of the movie is that this very young looking man named Baby is the getaway driver for a different series of crimes plotted by a mastermind named Doc played by Kevin Spacey. Baby is the best at what he does. He is the common denominator in a series of heists plotted by Doc using different gang members depending on what is needed to succeed with the crime. Baby owes Doc for some past deeds and thinks his job is done once he has paid his dues. Unfortunately for him, Doc has gotten to see Baby as a good luck charm for all the crimes that he has committed and will not let Baby go. Therein lies the rub.
I think it will be almost impossible for people to not love this movie. Even the women will fall under "Baby Diver's" spell as they will identify with Baby's trying to break free of his bondage and take to the highway with the love of his young life.
