    Plot: After working for a crime boss, a getaway driver finds himself being part of a heist that is doomed in fail.

    I know director Edgar Wright has quite a cult following. I wouldn't think of myself as hardcore as those fans. But I really like all of his films (especially Shaun Of The Dead and Hot Fuzz), and am always excited for his next feature. No matter what the story is.

    His particular style of film-making is very agreeable with me and he always gives us a very interesting story to get involved with.

    This particular one has been getting a lot of buzz before its release. I purposely avoided trailers for this one, to get the full enjoyment at the cinema.

    Boy does this film get their wagons rolling with a highly memorable first act. I was already feeling Wright's fingerprints firmly smudged all over this. The cinematography and editing alone put me right at ease.
    The second act does slow down to develop a love story that is occurring. But there are still lots of memorable scenes that develop the main story rather well.
    Then we can an exciting finale that even though I think it could have been resolved much quicker, it was still a pretty satisfying ending.

    I really liked Ansel Elgort as our main protagonist. He was really charming and engaging in 'The Fault In Our Stars', and gave us another very memorable character. This performance proves to me that he is not just a one hit wonder, and can also do multiple genres.
    While none of the performances were Oscar-worthy, they were all pretty good. The one that stood out for me, was Jamie Foxx. It has been a while since I had seen a memorable Foxx performance, and his sly yet cool character gave me another one to add to his impressive list.
    Kevin Spacey is a great support and fitted the tone beautifully. He remains as funny and dead-pan as you would expect him to be.
    Lily James and her involvement whilst pretty solid, was probably the weakest part of the film. She was great in the recent live-action re-make of Cinderella. In this one, while I still love her on-screen presence, she felt a bit out of place.

    On the technical side, this is near perfect. The directing in this, is some of the best I've seen for a long time. Wright never has a boring moment in his films, and this is no different. The pacing is romping and it never grinds to a halt. His sharp and crisp editing is a complete and utter joy to witness. Its flow in between scenes is the very definition of seamless, and should be commended in the awards season.
    You are completely locked into the action scenes. They are wonderfully executed and highly thrilling. I was pleased to see everything be practical effects as well.
    Like in some of Wrights previous films, there are some cool long takes where the camera is sweeping around the scenes and becomes quite captivating viewing.
    But by far the films strongest aspect is the music. I was surprised at how integral its soundtrack was to the film. What Wright and his team have managed to do, is incorporate it with a lot of its set-pieces and it makes the film feel like a musical without anyone singing. From a technical perspective, this is impressive and very clever film-making that reminds how smart Wright is as a story-teller.

    I had a damn good time with this and this is the first 2017 film that I feel could end up in my top 10 by the end of it. Everything about it was so fluid. The performances are great, the action is exciting, the writing is sharp and the story very well developing and you never where it is going next and the use of the soundtrack was utter genius.
    It has a slick style to it that I cannot see many films replicate for the rest of the year. Wright shows us what he is capable of doing, and the ideas he has in this film will give it great re-watchability to make you find all those Easter eggs.

    This could very well be the film of the summer.

    Rating: 8/10
