Review of Getaway (2013) by Shelby S — 05 Dec 2013
Some genius had the great idea of making a 90-minute car chase movie and decided it was wise to put Selena Gomez in it...yep. There isn't much to say because the plot is paper-thin and the rest of the movie is just very well-staged car crashes that are all done practically.
Selena Gomez is given the task of spewing technical jargon that is so far from her comfort zone, I busted a gut more than a few times listening to her attempt these lines. Ethan Hawke is one of my favourite character actors and he does the best he can with his limited material.
The movie is brain-less as hell and the whole movie is literally saved by one inept policeman who can't shine a flashlight properly. There is one TERRIFIC long take towards the end that was actually genius, but I suggest watching that on youtube and staying far away from this "film".
