Critics Consensus

Monotonously fast-paced to the point of exhaustion, Getaway offers a reminder of the dangers in attempting to speed past coherent editing, character development, sensible dialogue, and an interesting plot.

It's all you can do not to laugh. Oh, go ahead. But be forewarned that there are many miles to go before we get to the end and it will feel like an eternity before any of it makes sense.

Empire Magazine

While the seemingly endless car chase has many literal gear changes, Getaway as a film is a monotone experience.

Rated: 1/5

Getaway feels like a project that was undercooked, needing snappier dialogue, better shot coverage in its action sequences, and especially a heavier dose of macho charisma.

Rated: 2/5

Even the likable Ethan Hawke can’t save the film from its sleep-inducing monotony and overall lack of intelligence.
