The Getaway, a remake of Sam Peckinpah's excellent escape thriller of the same name, adapted from a story by Jim Thompson, is the story of ill-fated romance on the run. Doc McCoy (Alec Baldwin) is released from a Mexican prison with the help of gangster Jack Benyon (James Woods) who wants Doc's help in the hold-up of a racetrack. With the help of Doc's wife Carol (Kim Basinger), and Jack's thugs Rudy (Michael Madsen) and Frank (Philip Hoffman), the robbery is successful, but a guard is murdered. Doc also finds out that Carol has had an affair with Benyon. Carol shoots Benyon and the two flee for Mexico and freedom. ~ Linda Rasmussen, All Movie Guide

A remake of Peckinpah's 1972 thriller? They can't lose! Recipe for box office poison: just add Alec Baldwin, Kim Basinger, Michael Madsen, and stir vigorously! With a cast like this, the film was ill-fated from the start. The original has the quentissential man's man, Steve McQueen, and the brilliance of Sam Peckinpah --- stick to the '72 classic instead.

In one scene they elude the police by getting into a dumpster. That's about what I think of this movie. Baldwin knows all these people to pull off a high tech heist but only knows one person that can get him a fake passport. Plus you have Kim Bassinger in the movie and no nude scene, what were these people thinking. The only saving grace was Jennifer Tilly, she even looked sexy standing in the hall with bullets flying around screaming Rudy like an idiot. I love that voice. It's a remake of an earlier movie, but this time they should have just left this one in the can.
