What to Know

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.

John Anderson Wall Street Journal 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. Jul 22, 2014 Full Review Ian Nathan Empire Magazine While the seemingly endless car chase has many literal gear changes, Getaway as a film is a monotone experience. Rated: 1/5 Jul 22, 2014 Full Review Kristy Puchko CinemaBlend 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 Jul 22, 2014 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies Even the likable Ethan Hawke can’t save the film from its sleep-inducing monotony and overall lack of intelligence. Rated: 1/5 Aug 21, 2022 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com ...cheap but undeniable thrills... Rated: 3/5 Sep 25, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Incredibly simple and vastly unoriginal. Rated: 5/10 Dec 3, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
