I saw "Getaway", starring Ethan Hawke-The Purge, Training Day; Selena Gomez-Spring Breakers, Wizards of Waverly Place-t.v.; Bruce Payne-Highlander: Endgame, Passenger 57 and Jon Voight-Four Christmases, Zoolander.
This is an action/thriller with lots of car chases and, of course, car crashes. Ethan plays a disgraced pro race car driver-handy skills to have for this type of movie-now living in Bulgaria, that is put into an extremely stressful situation. His wife is kidnapped by a mysterious voice on a cell phone, played by Jon using a fake European accent, and Ethan is told that he must do some dangerous tasks for the voice, if he ever wants to see his wife alive, again. First, Ethan is told to steal a Shelby Super Snake Mustang that is waiting in a garage for him-it has been souped up and armor plated for his missions. The only problem is that the car belongs to Selena-a rich kid with toys-that unexpectedly gets enlisted as a passenger to tag along with Ethan. Bruce is an employee of Jon's that handles things-besides his voice, Jon doesn't physically show up until the very end of the movie. There are lots-and I do mean lots-of car chases and crashes; They wrecked 130 vehicles, including 13 mustangs, making this movie. You do find out why Ethan is put through all of his running around demolition derby type behavior and it even has an ending that could lead into a sequel, not that it needs one, but I guess that is what movie companies are looking for, nowadays. It's rated "PG-13" for violence and language and has a running time of 1 hour & 30 minutes. It's not a bad movie, although a little relentless with the car chases-I never thought that I would say that-but I don't think that I would buy it on DVD. It would be alright, as a rental.
