A gripping thriller.

Relentlessly depicts ruthless robbery and murder, not to mention adultery, kidnaping, bribery, extortion, and general mayhem. The vivid direction and lightning pace, however, make the film completely fascinating.

The action and the violence of The Getaway are supported by no particular themes whatsoever. The movie just unravels.

A tough crime drama with a steely McQueen performance and the usual quota of Peckinpah violence.

It's like one of those devices for executive desks, with the stainless steel balls on the strings: It functions with great efficiency but doesn't accomplish anything.

The Getaway scores a triple play: It's a good character examination, a good relationship study, and a good action flick.
