Movie Reviews of The Getaway

Movie Review: The way all remakes should be, as good as the original!
Summary: 4 Stars

Like Tom and Nicole in "Eyes Wide Shut", Alec and Kim do a fantastic job and play the roles made famous by Mcqueen and Mcgraw Brilliantly. This fresh, vibrant remake takes it a bit further than the original due to modern-day censors, (in Australia this film was given an R rating)which gives the film a very gritty feel. But the film belongs to star couple Alec and Kim who both do some of there best work ever. (the Getaway is Kim's best along with L.A Confidential and it's Alec's best along with the Hunt for Red October) On whole, I like it better than the original because of its harsh realism, its brilliant cast, which also includes James Woods and Micheal Madsen, and really because Kim is sooo Good looking.

Movie Review: A VERY Good movie!
Summary: 4 Stars

I have never seen the original, but from what I have read it does not compare to this one. Kim and Jennifer are HOT!!! in this movie...especially Kim. This is when Kim was very good looking and the scene of her with her clothes off was worth the price of the DVD. I own this movie and must have watched it about 5 times or more and I never get tired of it. I gave it 4 stars cause I think they should have shown more shots of Jennifer naked. In my opinion this is the one that should be on HD...not the original one.

Movie Review: Excellent... and Kim.... well wow!
Summary: 4 Stars

Great action film. Good DD 5.1 sound. And what can I say ... Basinger wow, not only is she beautiful she did a great job of acting in this flick. Baldwin was great. Lot's of shoot-em-up, chase scenes and action. My kind of movie and done in a mostly believable fashion. 4.5 Stars for this one! I wonder if Basinger did all of her own scenes... or had a double? Who really cares?

Movie Review: no title
Summary: 4 Stars

A good, solid, sexy, suspense thriller - all the cliches. James Stephens and David Morrison (St. Elsewhere) were also in it, but I couldn't find his name in the credits. I was pulled in and enjoyed it. From a Jim Thompson novel which I understand had a much bleaker ending.

Movie Review: Excellent movie
Summary: 4 Stars

This is way better than the original. Kim and Alec are fantastic in this movie. Make sure to get the Uncut, Unrated special! Kim Basinger looks gorgeous.
