The best thing about it is, this was not from your watchlist director's film or big name actor's. Most of people do not care if the film fails or succeeds, but if they get a chance to see it, they certainly will take it. Because such film in between the mainstream ones is what we all watch. Meanwhile, this is nothing new. Just an altered version of the story we've seen in other flicks.It is a single day adventure. A road movie with the car chases. Very similar to '12 Rounds', except everything takes place in a moving car. A man's wife has been taken hostage and now he has to follow the instructions of the kidnapper. Unexpectedly a young woman joins in his quest. Where it all takes them and how the film ends were revealed later.Not a bad film, but hangs as an average one. For those who watch films rarely would enjoy it. But can't be stopped those who watch films regularly, and their responses were not good. Ethan was good, and so Selena. The end twist was actually no surprise. Not like you would guess it easily, but it was very ordinary. It was not about the story, but entertainment. I felt it was a decent timepass flick.6/10

Yet another addition to the canon. If Hollywood is to be believed, then Central and Eastern Europe consists of 1) smoking hot women who are intent on marrying, or are married to, American males, 2) smoking hot women who are prostitutes, 3) gangsters, 4) little girls with flaxen braids who like to prepare homecooked bread and 5) people heavily invested in Christmas fairs or shopping.Representatives of all categories can be found within the borders of Central and Eastern Europe, but it's pretty lazy (and pretty racist) to suggest that they make up the whole of the population. Unpleasant assertions about inoffensive citizens aside : this is a remarkably undercooked VROAR VROAR VROOM vroom crash crash plot holes large enough to drive an elephant through CRASH bang bang VRRRROAR. Vroom wish fulfilment ROAR ROOR RRRRomm vroom boing boingggg for adolescent males who like primary colors and explosions rhha rhaaaa rhhhaaaa a solid wall of noise VROOM vromm VROOM VROOM. It's an ode to reckless driving, road rage and speed crassssssssh crasssh crrrash CRASH, thinly disguised as ROAR RRROAR roar car crashes galore VROOM a lot of waste VROOM BOING BOINGGGG vroom vroom vroommm textbook conspicious consumption. VRRROOM vroom vroom VROAR ding ding dingeling BADOING BADOING to the point where you can't hear yourself think. That's precisely why they do it.

Getaway (2013): Dir: Courtney Solomon / Cast: Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez, Jon Voight, Rebecca Budig, Paul Freeman: The title is exactly what audiences should do within ten minutes of this junk heap action garbage. Ethan Hawke plays a washed out race car driver whose wife is kidnapped. He is phoned by the villain and instructed to steal an armor car in a parking garage that is infested with cameras where his movements are seen at all times. Selena Gomez plays a car jacker until she informs Hawke that this is her car. He is instructed by the computerized voice phone to not allow her to leave. This simplistic plot setup is followed by one constant chase throughout busy city streets where so many police cars are smashed to hell that the Blues Brothers would be envious. This is pure garbage and director Courtney Solomon manages to make a film that is as bad as his horrible Dungeons and Dragons film. Why he conceals Jon Voight as the villain and then reveal some thug we have never seen previous is a brain tease. Voight is only seen briefly but for whatever it is worth his voice is subdued in stupid dialogue. Hawke does what he can with the flat role. He is eventually instructed to steal money, as if that is a surprise. Gomez was wonderful in Spring Breakers but she is totally unbelievable as this nerdy brat. Rebecca Budig as Hawke's wife spends her scenes whining into a camera. Paul Freeman is listed as a guy who plays a character named The Man. Let us try not to laugh. The crash action is well produced but unfortunately this film deserves to be run over by every person who owns a vehicle. Score: 1 / 10

Yes, there are spoilers ahead....stop reading if you haven't watched the movie yet.First off, I think the filming location was a poor choice. It was set in Bulgaria but it should have been set more appropriately in Switzerland.....mainly because there were more plot holes than a chuck of Swiss cheese. It's the little things that spoil the movie, for example:~The entire plan seemed a little bit elaborate and pointless. ~The car was armoured and unbreakable....until the last scene. ~Bulgaria must have an incredible back up generator, because for a city that lost its power grid and lights.....there seemed to be a lot of lights....and erm, power. ~What sort of high executive banker informs his daughter of the bank security arrangements if the power is lost? ~Apparently a race car driver is a crack shot with a pistol, unlike the bad guys with automatic weapons.The movie isn't THAT bad...you just need to leave your brain at the door prior to hitting the start button. If you want to see a lot of car chases and a bit of excitement then give it a go. Just don't expect "Die Hard" or "Ocean's Eleven"Oh, and what is it with keeping Jon Voight a secret and hiding his identity? Good grief, we ALL knew it was him, right from the get-go :P
