Getaway

The film with the theme of the car is currently a trend after the franchise Fast & Furioussukses big at the box office. Of course that means that Hollywood wants to try to raise funds by issuing films were similar but not identical. In the year 2014 there was a film adaptation of the best-selling game Need for Speed ​​while this year the director Courtney Solomon wants to try his luck with the support of three stars across generations: Jon Voight, Ethan Hawke, and Selena Gomez. Instead able to capture the market of the three categories of the age of this film fails miserably. Is it because it is not a good movie or because he unfairly compared with serial Fast & Furious?

There is a reckless driver destroyed the city here and there like crazy. Many people dying after this crazy driver crosses paths with super high speed to destroy anything nearby. The policemen chased the mad skills but is too powerful for them to emulate. Police cars collide with each other and summersault destroyed. Who's really the crazy car? His name is Brent Magna and he does not do all these things because he liked the challenge of adrenaline. Brent did this because he was forced by a mysterious wife hostage. This mysterious man threatening if Brent does not do what he asked then his wife will be killed. Brent inevitably forced to obey the orders of all kinds - including when he was told to do stunt-crazy stunt earlier.

State of Brent becomes more complex when the car he was riding was almost robbed by a little girl. The robbery failed and the girl became an additional passenger in the car Brent. In the center of the monitor camera in the car both have to think hard how to escape from a mysterious man demand and to save Brent's wife being held hostage.

If I have to type and make a list of plot holes in this film then it might be longer than the movie itself so I will summarized in one sentence: the whole movie is full of plot holes. Every two or three minutes once I moaned while watching the sight of a plot hole in the film. I know films like this do not have to think about the plot but the scenario written by the duo Gregg Maxwell Parker and Sean Finegan instead of trying to make every plot hole so it makes sense but it makes the plot holes so gaping. This scenario does not deserve it feels like for a movie coming to the big screen and more appropriate for the B movie plot is a straight-to-video.

For the acting of Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez, and Jon Voight were three can not do much with a bad script given to them. Nearly 80% of the film contains scenes that reflect on the fate of Ethan Hawke shouting or expression of panic, Selena Gomez menghabisan time to cry out of fear and covered his face with a bonus yelling "Noooo! Noooo! Do not do it !!! ", while Jon Voight? Although only his voice that emerged he appeared as annoying sound that makes the audience mood getting damaged while watching the movie.

The only thing that still help me, not to fall asleep while watching this movie is a car chase scene contest conducted by a different approach by Courtney Solomon. Cinematography takes many different angle-the angle of the car, outside the car, and around the car; something that explained the plot in passing. Seeing pursuit in this way is quite unique and I am so looking forward angle shot like that will be taken by the director in the next scene. If only supported with a stronger script may Getaway will be a spectacle more original and fun. One more plus for the director is the courage to destroy the cars (although the old car) in stuntnya so those fans of action movies antiquity must be satisfied by it.

So my verdict is ... beyond that something else can be discussed and reviewed by the duration of the film is less than 90 minutes. In an attempt to make a film of high bertensi throughout the duration of broadcast, Courtney Solomon brings spectacle it has never been clear from the beginning to the end, a bad script and a plot full of holes, and only saved by a unique way of shooting and different films kejar- chase the other cars. If longer than 90 minutes might actually my getaway from the cinema!
