“Baby Driver” & “The Big Sick”

(l to r) Buddy (Jon Hamm), Darling (Eiza Gonzalez), Baby (Ansel Elgort) and Bats (JAMIE FOXX) discuss the next heist in TriStar Pictures’ BABY DRIVER.

By Howard McQuitter II

“Baby Driver”(2017)

**** out of five

Action/Comedy/Drama/Music Rated R

Director Edgar Wright”'s (I met him back when he directed “Shaun of the Dead”) “Baby Driver” is worth the ticket while lounging in a comfortable chair in a theater (or at home) on a summer day. The beauty of “Baby Driver” is the movie feels fresh, electrifying and humorous. For lack of a better word, the cast is cool.

Baby is the title character played by Ansel Elgort, a twenty-something, white guy who walks around with earphones listening to pop music, such as from “Queen”. Back-ground  music from old school R&B tunes Martha Reeves & The Vandellas “Nowhere to Hide” and Brenda Holloway”'s “Every Little Bit Hurts” fill the air instead of what audiences may expect rap or hip hop music.

He is the getaway driver working for heist boss Doc (Kevin Spacey) along with three other lively characters Bats (Jamie Foxx), Griff (Jon Hamm), Darling (Eiza Gonzalez).All the action takes place in Atlanta, Georgia.

From the first time Bats meets Baby he doesn”'t trust him and always finds a way to criticize him.… Read the rest ““Baby Driver” & “The Big Sick””
