C. – 112m
Aspect Ratio: 2.39:1 – Widescreen

Writer – Dir.: Edgar Wright.

Starring: Ansel Elgort, Jon Bernthal, Eiza Gonzalez, Kevin Spacey, Jamie Foxx & Paul Williams.

A young getaway driver forced into one last heist realizes that it, the heist, is doomed to fail. Fast paced and action packed film boast of fine performance and an exceptional soundtrack. A must watch! As a point of interest a scene in a parking garage near the end of the film was shot on the same set as the American version of House Of Cards (2015 – 20??) – “Air Force One” from that show can be seen in the film!

Trivia: Jamie Foxx would stay and watch Kevin Spacey work even when he wasn’t in the scene. Emma Stone was originally offered the role of Debora but dropped out to make La La Land (2016) – for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress. Edgar Wright said in an introduction to the film that there is little to no CGI in the film. The driving was all practically done. The tracking scene at the beginning of the film with Baby and the coffee took 28 takes to do. Take 21 is the one you see in the film. In the background of every scene that doesn’t have music you can hear a slight ringing to show Baby’s Tinnitus. When Baby is flipping through the channels at the beginning of the film you hear various lines from various movies: “You are so beautiful,”; “They grow up so freaking fast,”; “How’s that working out for you?”; and “We’re partners. There’s nothing that matters to me more than our friendship.” All these lines show up later in the film as dialogue. And finally: This was the first Edgar Wright film to be shot in the United States.

Rated: [R] – Violence And Language Throughout.
