Brutal but hugely entertaining.

Time Out
Peckinpah's own control of the escalating frenzy is masterly; this is one of his coldest films, but a great thriller.
75
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.

Variety
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.

Empire
Intense direction (Pekinpah) coupled with assured acting (McQueen).
