Review of Getaway (2013) by Ian G — 17 Mar 2015
The Getaway has a beautiful looking Shelby and acts like a modern grindhouse car stunt picture that Michael Bay might have directed for Bruckheimer once upon a time focusing on a former stunt driver unwittingly drawn in with a criminal to create chaos on the streets of a seemingly fictional city in order for him to steal a series of drives that will allow him access to billions in barabonds.
Thats pretty much as deep as it goes and has attracted decent names in Ethan Hawke, Sleena Gomez and Jon Voight to fill out the cast. Even though it is a low budget picture, it is a little too slickly produced to quantify as a grindhouse and almost a little too serious to be totally fun, but some of the angles they were able to get with cheap cameras were pretty cool.
A good slice for what it is but too much of one thing and not enough for another.
