Baby Driver zooms past also-rans to become one of 2017’s best movie

Director: Edgar Wright (Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World)

Rating: *****

The road goes on for revver … but where will it take him?

THIS is your cinematic traffic report for the week commencing Thursday July 13th.

Put your foot down and keep your eyes up, because all roads lead to Baby Driver.

If you think the Fast & Furious franchise is the last word in cars, crashes, chases and hi-octane heists, then this brilliant, dynamically creative movie is going to mow you down.

For Baby Driver rewrites the four-wheeled film textbook on how to tear up tarmac with style, substance and spectacularly syncopated stunts that just never, ever let up.

Ansel Elgort (no longer to be remembered as the smug dreamboat in The Fault In Our Stars) has the title role of Baby, a highly skilled and decidedly enigmatic young getaway driver going nowhere until he completes one last job for big-time bank-robbing mastermind Doc (Kevin Spacey).

US alerted Russia 30 minutes before airstrike in Syria

Russia received signals the US was launching an airstrike on a Syrian air base about 30 minutes in advance, according to a US official.

The US military fired more than 50 tomahawk missiles at the al-Shayrat military airfield near Homs at 8.45pm on Thursday while President Donald Trump was hosting Chinese President Xi JinPing at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

The Russian military, which has ground troops in Syria as well as a fleet of around eight Mi-28N Night Hunter and Ka-52 Alligator gunships stationed at the base, received a ‘deconfliction’ notice, according to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.

But no direct contact was made between the Trump administration and Russian President Vladimir Putin, with Tillerson emphasizing that they did not seek approval from Moscow.
