Jacob B @RT89309114 Jan 30 This wasn't completely for me. There are certainly good moments, Steve McQueen is firing on all cylinders and Sam Peckinpah does a good job directing but I couldn't fully get into The Getaway. Maybe I found the pacing hit-or-miss, maybe it wasn't action-packed enough for my tastes or perhaps the opening scene and its approach to sound mixing left a bad first impression. I can’t quite put my finger on it. Walter Hill writing the script, maybe? I have found his directorial efforts to come across as overrated, so maybe his involvement is to blame for whatever issues I had with this film. The Getaway does have things to like about it but, for whatever reason, my heart just wasn't in it, even though I wanted to like this movie more than I did. Oh well, maybe the remake will be more to my tastes. I hear Joss Whedon provided some script doctoring in it. At least this new 1000-word limit will prevent me from going on "separating art from the artist" tangents regarding him.
