Action. Thriller Getaway is the gritty, exciting action thriller from Warner Brothers in which former race car driver Brent Magna is pitted against the clock as he commandeers a custom Shelby Cobra Mustang, taking it and its unwitting owner on a high-speed adventure at the command of a mysterious villain on a race against time to save the life of his kidnapped wife.

	Author	Review
United States	Scott Foundas Variety	"Solomon has made something like a 'Cannonball Run' for the YouTube Generation, with the largely incoherent action cut in a Cuisinart."	NEG
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"'Getaway' seems built for non-English speaking territories in which dialogue is as disposable as Bulgarian police cars. If only those audiences were as dumb as the action itself"	NEG
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"'Getaway' has but one task -- deliver nonstop primo car chases -- and it can't even do that right"	NEG
United States	Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune	"Terrible but, in its squealing way, sporadically fun-terrible (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Scott Bowles USA Today	"A car-chase clunker that can't escape its own noxious emissions (...) Rating: ★ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"The glimmers of wit and carnival humor in the 'Fast & Furious' franchise are nowhere to be found in 'Getaway'"	NEG
United States	Kyle Smith New York Post	"'Getaway' is so bad that what’s most surprising about it is that Nicolas Cage didn’t manage to star in it (...) Rating: ½ (out of four)"	NEG
