Review of Getaway (2013) by Eq R — 04 Apr 2015
The good news is that this movie is basically one big car chase, bad news is that it's so poorly edited that the chase scenes become tedious and sometimes headache inducing. The times that the story drops into a lower gear we are treated to Selena Gomez's horrible acting (her verbiage is limited to repeating "oh shit!" And "please stop") and when Ethan Hawke is trying so hard to make the film entertaining he fails, but not because of him, it's due to the chemistry he has with Gomez.
..except they have zero of it. The movie is so fast paced for its own good and at times it gets repetitive to the point of boredom. I wish this were a so bad it's good type of guilty pleasure, instead it just comes off kind of bad.
It does get points for having Hawke drive the hell out of one really nice Shelby and it can provide a sliver of entertainment if you can overlook every flaw and gaping plot hole the movie has. D-.
