It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I am a Selenator since I attended the Boston Revival concert and Getaway (2013) showcased her most underrated acting performance. She was able to remove her innocent shell and embrace her brilliance, angst and expletive-ness. Selena Gomez should have had her Razzie nomination revoked and have much better award nominations. Rather than Selena Gomez stealing the spotlight, Ethan Hawke and Jon Voight did a good job in this practical film that is the "Die Hard" of car films.

It was a bad film overall, but that street level point of view car chase was just amazing! It takes place toward the end. I know that lot of you people will jump on my head when I say this, but it was better than the famous car chase scene from Bullitt (actually there are many films with better car chase scenes then that one). In Bullitt you could easily see how they put it on fast forward many times just to give the impression the cars go faster. In this scene from Getaway you don't feel that at all, and it was also a sequence shot only adding more value to it. I recommend to fast forward to that scene and than put another DVD into the DVD-player.

My English is not perfect, please be tolerant.I would start from the visual side, which seems pretty untrustworthy. The first car chase is simply wrong. The whole editing is heady, sometimes even poorly done. I think the main problem is that the cut follows the action. It misses the right continuity of shots and good impression of the action on screen. Some shots are imaginative and monitoring through hidden cameras is not a bad idea. I appreciate this combined technique and occasional inventiveness of camera.Concerning the performances of actors, Ethan Hawke is doing whatever he can. The character of Selena Gomez is to me poorly written. And she really does not show herself as a good actress. This character really can not beat my favorite Lisbeth Salander from the Millennium series.Film is predictable and predictability it goes also for music and sounds. And I'm not a technical expert, but I would say that a lot of things in this movie are not feasible as the film shows. Screenplay acts as if it was written by a schoolboy.It is quite dreadful that because this film was smashed so many things. But also I understand that many people not so much as critical as me can like this movie.

She is just not a very good actor. Its not a very good script. Nice car, Ethan is pretty awesome he carries everyone else. It is like Bourne Identity without and suspension if disbelieving and script and acting and camera work. Well there's a couple good scenes, but Gomez ruins them with her horrid acting. Like the car windows, never a scratch, never get dirty, even after 1000 bullets and an RPG are fired at the car. OK, I guess everywhere in whatever city they are in is flat, they drive everywhere through buildings and right through all sorts of stuff it just makes no sense its a Shelby not a tank. So instead of wasting your time watching this start a petition banning Gomez from acting.
