I went onto this thinking it was just a film about a heist crew getaway driver, in truth it is much deeper.
Baby, a talented driver (played by Ansel Elgort) is a quirky likeable slightly weird character.
We quickly come to learn he is in debt to a crime boss Doc (played creepily by Kevin Spacey) for a mistake made several years earlier.
He is used as the driver for every one of Doc's planned heists with colourful criminals (played by Jon Bernthal, Jon Hamm, Eiza Gonzalez and Jamie Foxx), this is unusual as Doc changes the whole crew for each heist except for Baby whom is used again and again due to his driving talent.
From here there is lots of action and crime, we also however learn about Baby's difficult upbringing and love of music and how that all ties in with the movie.
There is of course the awkward introduction of a love interest Debora (played by Lily James). In the later scenes there is more crime, action and death with twists of revenge.
All in this is a complex and deeply moving take on a crime film where we find ourselves rooting for the main character and hoping he makes it, if he does or not, you will have to see for yourself.
The soundtrack is also very good.

An absolute classic...mostly!
This will always be one of my favourite albums, always fun and memorable, featuring Meat Loaf's best known songs.


The songwriting from Jim Steinman is outstanding, and the music always has a great amount energy, whether the song is fast or slow.

For me personally, the only track that lets the album down is "Paradise by the Dashboard Light", which starts off fine, but is ruined at the point Ellen Foley comes in. Foley herself is not to blame, but at this point the song becomes repetitive and silly, particularly the part with the baseball commentary running through "bases".
