Film Review – Getaway

“Getaway” is a film fueled entirely on stupidity. And not the amusing
kind of dumb that generates delightful junk food cinema, but the
oppressive, lurching level of idiocy that takes roughly five minutes to
sink into the system. Cruelly, there’s another 90 minutes of screen
activity to digest in “Getaway,” and it doesn’t go down smoothly. Chock
full of logic leaps, tuneless performances, and mind-numbingly
repetitive car crashes, the feature is a complete waste of time, openly
expressing contempt for audience intelligence. The engine roars, the
edits flicker like a strobe light, and Hawke Holler is in full effect,
but there’s no movie here to follow, just a series of ludicrous
encounters meant to pass as some type of suspenseful endeavor.
