Reviews


83
The A.V. Club - Noel Murray
Brutal but hugely entertaining.
80
Time Out - Unnamed
Peckinpah's own control of the escalating frenzy is masterly; this is one of his coldest films, but a great thriller.
75
TV Guide Magazine - Unnamed
This violent film, typical of Peckinpah's slam-bang action movies, 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.
70
Variety - Unnamed
The Getaway has several things going for it: Sam Peckinpah's hard-action direction, this time largely channeled into material destruction, although fast-cut human bloodlettings occur frequently enough, and Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw as stars.
60
Empire - Unnamed
Intense direction (Pekinpah) coupled with assured acting (McQueen).
