Edgar Wright is one of Hollywood's most prolific directors, and since bursting onto the scene in 2004 with the horror-comedy "Shaun of the Dead," the British director has produced hit after hit, one of the most recent being "Baby Driver."

In this stylish action film, Ansel Elgort plays a young getaway driver, and the majority of the film's high-octane sequences are synchronized with a perfectly tuned soundtrack. This 2017 film arrived on Netflix this week (Monday, April 1) and is already poised to enter Steamer's most-watched list. At the time of this writing, it is currently in fourth place and could rise even higher in the coming days.

If the film's distinctive pink poster caught your eye on the Netflix carousel and you want to know more before diving in, let me save you some time: watch it now and thank me later. But if you want to know more before adding "Baby Driver" to your watch list, here's everything you need to know.

Miles (Ansel Elgort), nicknamed Baby, is a soft-spoken getaway driver trusted by Doc (Kevin Spacey), who works for a ruthless crime boss to clear his personal debt. Suffering from tinnitus, Baby constantly listens to music on his headphones to block out the incessant ringing in his ears. But instead of distracting him while driving, the music only sharpened his senses.

After meeting Deborah (Lily James), a waitress at a local diner, Baby makes plans to leave his life of armed robbery and high-speed chases behind and start a new life. But Doc draws him in for one last job with a violent and unstable crew: Buddy (Jon Hamm), Darling (Eiza Gonzalez), and Butts (Jamie Foxx).

Naturally, things don't go as planned (the "last score" never works out for anyone), and Baby is forced to use all his driving skills to avoid facing the music and dodge.

"Baby Driver" became a critical darling when it was released in 2017. To date, it holds a very impressive 92% score on Rotten Tomatoes and currently holds a "Certified Fresh" endorsement. Audiences have been equally impressed with the film, giving it a high score of 86% after more than 50,000 ratings.

Richard Roper of the Chicago Sun-Times described the film as "one of the most entertaining thrill rides of the year" and even declared it one of the best of the decade (a ranking with which I very much agree). The Observer's Thelma Adams, meanwhile, is also a fan of the film, calling it a "crackling crime caper" and ranking it as the most entertaining movie of the summer.

CNN's Brian Lowry was particularly complimentary of Edger Wright's film, saying, "Sharp as a hairpin curve, 'Baby Driver' is a crackling romp that organically weaves music and humor into a clever showcase for its cast " stated the film's director. Meanwhile, Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian summed up "Baby Driver" in one word: "What a rush."

While most reviews were favorable, Anthony Lane of The New Yorker was one of the few critics who did not embrace the heist romp. Said Lane, "The unfortunate truth is that Baby is a boring boy."

In a nutshell, yes, you should stream "Baby Driver" on Netflix. You should watch it right now. Edgar Wright is one of the most original and dynamic directors of the 21st century, and this high-speed action film contains some of the most ingeniously crafted sequences ever.

There is much to like about "Baby Driver," and even the flimsy characters are compelling (although I wish the super-talented Lily James had been given a little more to do), but what I like about the film is the way the on-screen action is combined with the soundtrack The way the soundtrack combines with the action on screen. The sound effects, like car tires and gunshots, are set to a beat, creating some of the most memorable scenes in an action movie.

Seven years after its release, "Baby Driver" continues to stay with me, and I'm glad its arrival on Netflix was greeted with great enthusiasm from the streaming subscriber base; if you missed it in theaters in 2017, this is your chance to see what all the fuss is about! .
