The Getaway (1994)
2/10
Why remake this film?
7 March 2011
Don't get me wrong. I think that Alec Baldwin could have been great in this film, but the made the Doc character way too much of a wuss. Plus many of the scenes looked like an acting class that decided to use the scenes from the original as their scripted material. There was no tension and much of the subtext just disappeared. Still, there was good use of some character actors like Richard Farnsworth slotted into some of the smaller key roles and it was nice to pick up on some of the references to the original film. However, the overall viewing experience was far less fulfilling than the original, that kicked ass from start to finish.

Also, do dog race tracks really hold huge amounts of money like that?
