The Getaway

Critics Sentiment
Doc and Carol battle Benyon's men throughout the Border Hotel
Rudy holds Harold and Fran Carvey hostage at the clinic
The film surges from its lowest point during the unbearable hostage subplot to its action-packed hotel climax, gaining nearly 4 points.
Critics found this remake inferior to the Peckinpah original, citing weak character development and Baldwin's inability to match McQueen's charisma. The film struggles through a problematic middle act featuring an unpopular hostage subplot. However, it redeems itself with a spectacular hotel shootout finale that most reviewers praised as rivaling the original's climactic action.
