The Getaway (1972)
7/10
typical Sam Peckinpah
6 March 2020
If you are going to watch it nowadays you will sadly see that it is a bit outdated. Some scene's are too slow or are taking too long, but it's still worth seeing to see a classic.

It's the way that the opening is done that made it back in the days worth seeing. A nervous montage of noise and freezed shots. It do takes a while, just over 20 minutes before that's over. Once you passed that it's just wxhat the title syas, trying to get away when a robbery goes wrong.

There's blood here and there when people get shot, and yes, it's the extremely red stuff as seen in the sixties. You can easily spot when stunt people are coming in but hey, it's almost 50 years old.

If ypy want to see McQueen in a typical role then this is it, and for the lovers of cars, made just before the heydays of the muscle cars. If you want to see McQuenn in a muscle go see Bullit, but watch this one first
