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.

There have been some new voices in crime fiction, including Jane Harper (The Dry), soon to be a feature film by Reece Witherspoon, and some veteran writers like John Grisham (Camino Island).

And if you're still hungering for psychological thrillers, you may be sated with JP Delany's The Girl Before.

By stitching together a medieval fantasy epic with a Guy Ritchie crime caper, Legend of the Sword delivers a King Arthur re-telling that stands on its own and is surprisingly unique

genuinely thrilling at times
fantastic final scene
a little on the long side - this isn’t a major issue and isn’t something that usually bothers me but i did feel that the film slightly overstated its welcome & could have been slightly briefer (0 more)

A great crime thriller as a mafia accountant is taken hostage at his state of the art home. Bruce has to play negotiater while the mafia have his family. Great build up in tension as the clock starts ticking down for Bruce to do his bit and the stakes are raised.

I thought this was a pretty decent light hearted, sexy, crime thriller. More of a heist film to be honest. it's fun seeing how they did it, if the cops can figure it out and if he can get away with it. Strong cast and a well put together film overall.

Never any slow, drawn out parts
I don't often read Crime books as they are not really the genre I prefer. However, I could not put this book down.

I also never read this author's books before but I would definately consider reading another!
