The Getaway (1994)
4/10
Waste of time.
25 July 2007
Nowhere near the original. It's quite accurate copy bringing nothing new to the story. But the directing is very poor. Basinger is weak - without good directing. Baldwin is simply just a second league compared to McQueen. I watched it just out of curiosity, being a huge fan of Peckinpah's masterpiece, and I got what I thought. Almost a B movie with second rate acting and directing. I wasn't even disappointed, I just don't know what they were trying to do. This remake doesn't try to play with the original material, it's not a tribute and indeed it lacks some really good actor of its era.

It reminds me of a bad xerox copy of wonderful photograph.

This is a complete waste of your time. Save yourself 2 hours or watch the original (again:)))
