The Getaway is a particularly nasty and mean-spirited action picture, with the dramatic depth of an arcade game. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews 02/02/2022

Well-paced at the start, approaching commonplace heist scenarios with just enough uncertainty and freshness to create tension-filled unpredictability. Go to Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com 12/26/2006

A scene for scene remake that's still great fun. Odds are you won't be moved or enlightened, but you'll never be bored. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jonas C Aug 1 I thought it was very entertaining and some parts were quite funny (dark humor funny). All in all, it was fun to watch amd suspenseful See more Old S May 12 The best part of the movie is Jennifer Tilly. She's always great. See more Jelisije J Apr 16 A movie that doesn't truly know what it wants to be. With so many moving parts with so many unnecessary characters that you get an entertaining but disjointed hell of a mess of a film. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Mar 22 Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é ruim, o elenco é bom, mas ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, com tudo isso, eu não recomendo esse filme. See more Carlos T 12/08/2024 Filme: A FUGA Assistido: nov. 2024 Elenco: @kim.basinger @alecbaldwininsta @michaelmadsenofficial @jennifertilly @realjameswoods Modelo: #gamgsters #romance Duração: 1h 55m Ano: 1994 Minha opinião: Temos aqui a belíssima Kim Basinger no auge de sua beleza. Um filme com o roteiro conhecido, que assaltam e depois fogem e sofre perseguição. Porem ness fuga acontece de tudo, até descobrir que a mulher para liberta-lo teve um relacionamento, isto abalou o casal, mas ele o eliminou. Até que um dos traidores da quadrilha Rudy (Madsen), que Doc (Alec) imaginou ter eliminado e descobrir que esta vivo, e agora o persegue e sua Carol (Kim). Oque vale mais aqui é poder rever a Kim e Alec quando era magro. Um filme mediano para época e para hoje devagar. Atuações medianas. Roteiro e enredo já conhecido, mas sem aquele tchan. Vale apena assistir? Por nostalgia. Nota: 6 See more Lucas A 08/28/2024 Idk, I enjoyed it…I appreciate the effort they put into it unlike modern movies that CGI everything. Better than the kings speech (or something). See more Read all reviews
