Getaway

I didn’t find Gateway half as stupid as some people on this site claim. It might not be the cleverest movie on this planet, but it also contains so much adrenaline that that every single inhabitant of an entire city could take a piece each and there’d still be some left. Ethan Hawke doesn’t have time to act much, but he shows some excellent driving skills. Selena Gomez is rather grating but you’ll get used to her. You don’t need to try and wrap your head around all the logical lapses, ‘cause this is just a crazy adrenaline ride through Bulgarian Varna at its best, which managed to entertain me for the whole 85 minutes, thus fulfilling its purpose.

Dans Getaway, on dirait qu’Ethan Hawke a pour mission d’échapper à la bêtise du scénario. Mais il échoue, la mocheté des visuels ne jouant pas en sa faveur. Ce qui nuit le plus au film, cependant, c’est la présence incroyablement ennuyeuse et déplaisante de Selena Gomez, dont la prestation est nulle, voire – pour moi – insupportable. La figuration des vétérans Paul Freeman et Jon Voight ne suffit malheureusement pas à rattraper la sauce. (29/12/2018)
