Review of The Getaway (1972) by Conner R — 17 Jun 2010
Sam Peckinpahâ??s heist masterpiece, itâ??s one of the best the genre has to offer. Itâ??s bloody, violent and ruthless; something that every crime movie should be. However, this is so realistic and gritty that all those qualities come off even more extreme and powerful.
Seeing someone get shot in slow motion with candy apple blood from a shotgun is like nothing else. The storyline is more complex than just a simple bank robbery, itâ??s the follow up that gets far more attention.
Steve McQueen is the definition of hard, he slaps his girlfriend around, kills via buckshots and never cracks a smile. However, heâ??s always the one you root for because heâ??s just so awesome doing it.
