Movie Reviews of The Getaway
Movie Review: What a stupid movie.
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a poor remake of a classic. I could barely sit through the thing. The action scenes are good, yet unbelievable. The sex seens with Alec and Kim are done well. Otherwise, the movie sucks. The basic plot is poorly laid out and therefore vaguely interesting, but the subplots are ridiculous. Alec Baldwin does a crummy job of portraying the tough guy in this movie - he comes off arrogant and smug more than anything else. Kim Basinger is great in her role, but overshadowed by the rest of the poor acting and stupid subplots that surround her. Jennifer Tilly does a good job in an idiotic role. If you want to see Kim Basinger naked, borrow this movie from someone else. Bottom line - don't waste your money on it - you'll be mad at yourself if you do. Only a complete idiot could enjoy this crummy film.Movie Review: Totally uninspired, with needlessly shocking scenes
Summary: 1 Stars
Unlike some other reviewers, I thought the acting was alright, but only just. The story is so full of unlikeable characters, however, that I never really cared if they got caught or got away.
There is a lot of nudity and sexuality that was obviously thrown in to pander to the audience. One scene I found to be to be needlessly creepy and disturbing; Kidnapper Madsen and turncoat Tilly have sex in front of her anguished, captive husband, cruelly taunting him while he gruesomely kills himself.
This movie can't decide if it is a fast, fun, bubblegum action romp or a brooding allegory for something darker. It finds itself in middle ground that just doesn't work.
Movie Review: Sanitised Version of the Remake
Summary: 1 Stars
Don't buy this!
The packaging on the box claims this is ' unrated' - IT ISN'T!
ALL the sex scenes are missing - how the studio involved can get away with the lie on the packaging is a mystery to me, but they have!
Worthless sanitised US version, NOT the print that was released in Europe.
AVOID!!
Movie Review: Buy the original
Summary: 1 Stars
I can't imagine the size of Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin's ego's when they thought to remake a Steve McQueen classic. Remake a film with a good story, that was produced poorly. Not the case in the original. This remake is 2 hours of the actors mugging for the camera, it's unwatchable.
