Baby Driver (2017) ✰✰✰✰✰ (GREAT! movies, 9.00pm)

Director Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver is a high-octane crime caper which gleefully burns rubber to a toetapping soundtrack. Ansel Elgort plays Baby, who has suffered from tinnitus since he was involved in the horrific car accident that killed his parents. To drown out the ringing, he listens to music at a deafening volume, which allows him to focus on his duties as a getaway driver for criminal mastermind Doc (Kevin Spacey). For his final drive, Baby must assist Buddy (Jon Hamm), his fiery girlfriend Darling (Eiza Gonzalez) and trigger-happy Bats (Jamie Foxx) in pilfering millions of dollars. As the plan takes shape, Baby kindles a romance with diner waitress Debora (Lily James), who is desperate to leave town. Baby’s cut from the robbery should give them a way out, presuming Doc’s plan doesn’t go awry…

Total Recall (1990) ✰✰✰✰ (ITV4, 9.00pm)

Doug Quaid (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is a construction worker in 2084 who dreams of going to Mars. Rather than make the journey, he turns to a company that specialises in implanting fake holiday memories, only to discover that his mind has already been tampered with and that he may have been there for real. To find his true identity, he sets off on a trip to the red planet and does battle with its evil governor. Paul Verhoeven’s gory thriller was billed as one of the first great sci-fi films of the 1990s, and it certainly

lived up to that promise. Loosely based on Philip K Dick’s short story We Can Remember It for You Wholesale, Total Recall is fast, furious and far more memorable than the 2012 remake.
