Review of Getaway (2013) by Tvjerry — 01 Sep 2013
You'd think a movie that's 90% fast driving with dozens of car crashes couldn't help but be exciting. You'd be wrong. Such an over-edited, non-stop onslaught becomes pretty pedestrian because the action is uninspired.
Pair that with this ridiculous plot: Ethan Hawke is forced to drive like a maniac and cause absurd destruction to save his kidnapped wife. Toss in Selena Gomez as his sassy, hi-tech ride-along to really strain credibility.
Granted, the manic editing keeps it from being boring, but the lackluster direction keeps it from being thrilling. Less fast & furious and more fast & flaccid.
