(CNN) As sharply executed as a hairpin turn, "Baby Driver" is a crackling-good ride, one that organically weaves music and humor into a slick showcase for its cast. Despite a few potholes toward the end, writer-director Edgar Wright's stylish thriller consistently clicks on all cylinders. Ansel Elgort ("Divergent") stars as the nicknamed Baby, a hell-on-wheels driver working with a rotating group of heist artists presided over by the oily Doc (Kevin Spacey), to whom Baby is working off an unknown debt. Baby quickly falls for an attractive waitress ("Downton Abbey's" Lily James), although as they would say in the old noir-ish gangster movies that "Baby Driver" in many ways resembles, dames and this line of work don't mix. Yet the way Wright incorporates the song score into the action helps "Baby Driver" bound along to its own fresh, percussive beat.
