Summary

• Baby Driver is a unique blend of genres (action, romance, jukebox musical, and crime caper) praised for its direction and cast.
• Ansel Elgort, Lily James, and the supporting cast deliver impressive performances in Baby Driver, bringing the intriguing story to life.
• Baby Driver's sequel is in the works, but the cast is unknown.

Baby Driver was a critical and commercial success following its premiere in 2017, partly due to the performances given by its talented cast. The action film, directed and written by Edgar Wright, revolves around Ansel Elgort's titular character's pursuit to escape his life of crime as a getaway driver for bank robbers by paying off a debt to a crime syndicate's kingpin. However, quitting isn't as effortlessly easy as he first believes, of course. Meanwhile, in the midst of the complex conflict, a romantic subplot between Baby and Lily James' Debora transpires in the action movie.

Baby Driver, considered one of Edgar Wright's best movies, isn't only an action (and romance) film — it's also a jukebox musical and crime caper, and the movie somehow seamlessly blends all the conflicting genres. Consequently, the 2017 film was praised for its direction and structure, but critics and audiences also applauded the Baby Driver cast for bringing the intriguing story to life on the screen. From accomplished actors like Jon Hamm and Jamie Foxx to relative newcomers like Eiza González, the cast of Baby Driver is quite impressive.
