Car Movies We Dig: “Baby Driver”
By David Castro
“Baby Driver” is the new millennium’s most realistic and likely best (so far) car chase movie. I love the “Fast & Furious” franchise but the car chase/action sequences have gotten a bit over the top and sometimes have the same physics as a “Looney Tunes” cartoon. I like my car chases believable, or semi-plausible, and I like to consider traffic in major cities that seems to disappear during action filled scenes.
With that said, “Baby Driver” has legit driving scenes with real world cars.
The plot is simple, if a bit far fetched, Baby is a great getaway driver/wheelman with hearing problems. Kevin Spacey is the crime boss that hires Baby for various robbery jobs as the getaway driver and actions ensues. For a further and more in depth synopsis please check IMDB or watch it and dig it.
