Review of The Getaway (1972) by Alex H — 16 Apr 2009
It just didn't do it for me... in fact I really had to strugle with the urge not to turn it off 45 minutes in... and I know, I know... a good gew people who might read this would think me some kind of film heretic for saying so.
.. but nope... not for me.... I guess one of my problems is that seeing it over 30 years after its release you don't get the sense of how ground breaking and cutting edge it was back then... watching it after films like No Country For Old Men and Way Of The Gun, films made by directors who are clearly influenced my Peckinpah, this movie just seems dated and faded.
.. The score in particular is just awfull...
