The Getaway Reviews
New York Times
Vincent Canby
The action and the violence of The Getaway are supported by no particular themes whatsoever. The movie just unravels.
Filmcritic.com
Keith Breese
simply too contrived to be taken seriously
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...ultimately comes off as an above-average thriller that's elevated by the inclusion of several electrifying sequences and an expectedly charismatic turn from Steve McQueen.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Bob Bloom
A tough crime drama with a steely McQueen performance and the usual quota of Peckinpah violence.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A gripping thriller.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
The Getaway scores a triple play: It's a good character examination, a good relationship study, and a good action flick.
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rob Thomas
Tough as nails and very effective.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The Getaway is a big, glossy, impersonal mechanical toy. 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.
Texas Monthly
Judith Crist
It's fast, furious, full of shoot-outs and car chases, lovely little side-forays into suspense and irony, and tidbits of genuine humor.
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
Still the best action movie I've ever seen.
Keith & the Movies
Keith Garlington
There ends up being enough good ingredients to make for a tasty crime thriller. Perhaps not as good as it could have been, but tasty nonetheless.
The New Yorker
Pauline Kael
This is the most completely commercial film Peckinpah has made, and his self-parasitism gives one forebodings of emptiness... The Getaway is long and dull and has no reverberations except of other movies, mostly by Peckinpah.
TV Guide
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.
