“Baby Driver” is quintessential escapist entertainment for the summer.

Writer/director Edgar Wright is expert at comedy, but who knew that he could ace action/adventure so triumphantly? His new film “Baby Driver” is very likely the summer’s quintessential escapist entertainment. Wright’s screenplay concerns a getaway driver named Baby (Ansel Elgort) who listens to his own musical mix tapes while chauffeuring thieves during their heists. The songs help him synch his moves behind the wheel. Wright synchs his action to music as well, choreographing his actors, action and locations in one of the best shot and edited movies in years. Think of it as a car chase musical, a breathtaking ride at your local Cineplex.
