What It's About: A getaway driver named Baby (Ansel Elgort) gets into hot water when one of the robberies he works goes horribly wrong.

Why It Can Save Hollywood: It's an Edgar Wright original, so you know you're going to get something special: hilarious, visually dynamic and action-packed.

Plus, Wright has never been blessed with a cast this famous before: joining Elgort are Jamie Foxx and Jon Hamm as the bank robbers, Lily James as Baby's girlfriend, Kevin Spacey as a crime boss, and also Jon Bernthal.

Before next year's glut of superhero movies and tentpoles start rolling out in late March-or-so, Wright will show them how it's really done. He's one of the most kinetic action filmmakers working today, while avoiding the CGI bloat and style-over-substance nonsense that assails so many films.

Expect an action classic and no less.
