Review of The Getaway (1972) by Vicferrari — 23 Nov 2022
Well crafted but amoral action film that is difficult to engage with as the protagonists are so blank and there are no consequences for their actions. There's a largely irrelevant subplot about some despicable characters that serves only to make the 'heroes' look appealing by contrast.
See 'Bonnie and Clyde' for a film about bank robbers that has sympathetic characters without glossing over their actions. Bizarre soundtrack that plays like a tv-cop show. Moves at a brisk clip but goes nowhere.
