Review of Getaway (2013) by R K — 06 Sep 2013

Oh good lord... The fact that this movie has a higher audience score than Closed Circuit is a joke. Courtney Solomon, you've had plenty of chances to get it right and now I think it's time to call it quits.

But as bad as the direction was, the script was so much worse. The majority of this movie is completely illogical and ridiculously unnecessary. The acting is bad, there's no other way to say it. Ethan Hawke was decent, but well below what I've come to expect from him, Jon Voight's voice is interesting at first, but becomes labored and boring, and Selena Gomez.

.. So bad... So bad I don't was to dignify it with further explanation. I'm being generous in giving this movie one star, only because the crashes and car chases (so about 95% of the film) were fairly well done and mildly entertaining.

I found myself laughing more often than feeling anything towards the characters. Bottom line, this is a bad movie. I'm sure there's a bunch of brain dead people out there who enjoy this film, but I can't in good conscious recommend it to anyone.
