"This is going to be the last big score, I promise." Famous last words--uttered by crack thief Doc McCoy to his wife--that set forth a whirlpool of deception and violence in Roger Donaldson's 1994 remake of The Getaway. Bailed out of a Mexican jail by shady businessman Jack Benyon (James Woods) in order to hit an Arizona dog track for him, Doc (Alec Baldwin) and Carol (Kim Basinger) flee for south of the border when the robbery goes wrong, with the million-dollar loot in tow. Following close behind are Benyon's men and Doc's double-crossing partner Rudy (Michael Madsen).
The updated version shares not only the original film's plot, but also the added twist of having husband and wife Baldwin and Basinger step into the roles of the first real-life couple to make the film, Steve McQueen and Ali McGraw. This time, however, the woman's role has been given a tougher '90s edge, with Basinger pulling almost as many punches and firing as many shots as Baldwin, compared to McGraw, who followed McQueen around in wide-eyed, silent terror.
The Getaway maintains the same deliberate, neo-noir pace that made the first film taut, creating a claustrophobic atmosphere in the wide-open, desolate Southwestern landscapes. The scorching sun and heat only add to the strain, making it virtually impossible for anyone to find a dark corner or alleyway to hide in. The car chases and shoot-out finale are charged, though a secondary plot line, between Rudy and the woman he kidnaps and seduces (Jennifer Tilly), comes across as unnecessarily and incongruously brutal. --Natasha Senjanovic

This Movie is one that is better than Kill Bill ONE and TWO, and is in no way related except it is a more realistic look at true life as it exist in the lives of people involved in the same business of compitation, and out to be the top dog and still servive and thrive and is a warning to all that they should approach all of life with caution and have an ace in the whole at all times and that people whom love eachother often do things for the benifit of those they love, even if it might hurt them ...

This was a very entertaining, if morally way below par, action movie which consistently keeps your attention with intense scenes. Kim Bassinger probably looked as good as she ever looked which is saying a lot.
Bassinger has one of the steamiest scenes I've ever seen on a mainline film (my VHS tape was the "unrated" version) but at least it was with her real-life husband (at the time) Alec Baldwin.
This re-make of the 1972 film also has Michael Madsen, James Woods, Mike Morse ... Read More

People who write bad things about this movie didn't really watch it. I don't think this is a 1 star movie & the people who gave it 1 star wouldn't know a good movie, if it bit them from behind.........
