Getaway is a 2013 American action thriller film starring Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez, James Maslow and Jon Voight.
Washed up former race driver Brent Magna arrives home to find his house ransacked and his wife, Leanne, missing.
He tells Magna to speed up and take some perilous turns, eventually being forced to crash through a park, ice rink, and shopping center, nearly killing numerous civilians in the process.
After the Voice assigns Magna another destructive task, The Kid reveals herself as a skilled computer hacker and the daughter of the CEO of a large bank.
Gradually, the duo realizes that they are not actually committing a heist, but are merely providing a distraction for the police while The Voice executes the real robbery and subsequently frames them for it.
Following a high speed chase, both cars are destroyed, Magna rescues The Kid, and the police arrest the mysterious man.
The site's critical consensus states: "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.
[7] Matt Patches of IGN gave the film a score of 3/10, saying: "Not even the gruffly likable Ethan Hawke can make the murky, messy car chase movie Getaway worthwhile thanks to its inane script and poorly conceived action sequences".
[8] Selena Gomez's performance was also criticized by The Atlantic magazine, with the actress being described as "a kid trying desperately to act like a grownup, but with no real idea what that might entail".
[9] John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter called it a "brainless chase flick that doesn't even offer guilty pleasures.
"[10] Scott Foundas of Variety said in his review, "Solomon has made something like a 'Cannonball Run' for the YouTube Generation, with the largely incoherent action photographed (by cinematographer Yaron Levy) from dozens of small digital cameras mounted inside and outside the Shelby and cut in a Cuisinart".
