So despite this films title the plot isn't actually about a getaway no Sir, its more along the lines of someone having to complete missions in a time limit or his wife dies. Yep that's the whole plot in a nutshell, Ethan Hawke is trapped within a souped- up GT5. Super Snake Mustang and must do whatever the mystery voice on his phone says or his kidnapped wife gets it. There are two problems with this concept.. Hawke picks up Selena Gomez along the way. First off the mystery voice and lips we see are obviously Jon Voight, there is no mystery at all, its Jon Voight, moving on.

The Hitman’s Bodyguard. Underrated. It’s not easy to make an off-kilter comic book movie like this work. But this one does. Ryan Reynolds and Sam Jackson are. Getaway (aka Breakaway) is an escape artist without compare. He's cool-headed and logical under even the craziest, most dire circumstances and that lets him figure.

The next massively glaring issue is the car, the actual idea behind this film isn't too bad despite playing out like a [i]GTA[/i] videogame. The silly thing is the location for this action is Sofia, Bulgaria (for some reason) and generally in that country you probably won't see highly souped- up Mustangs. So the fact that Hawk is tearing around the city doing all these crazy things is completely idiotic because firstly the car stands out like a sore thumb so there is no way in hell you could disappear or be remotely inconspicuous.. The fact Hawke is able to quietly drive around in his burbling Mustang with generally no attention is absurd. That's the main issue which lets down the entire plot, it just doesn't work, but there are many others. I'm still not really sure why Voight goes to all that trouble with Hawke behind the wheel, surely he could do what he intended stealthily?

On another point I see absolutely no reason why Gomez's character was required. Voight's mystery character sets her up with Hawke but there is no real need for her, she is literately just there to gain a wider audience. The other thing that really made me giggle to myself was the poorly forced notion that Gomez's character is some kind of petrol head and the Mustang is actually hers.. She reels off all this car jargon in a lame attempt to try and make you believe she's a cool cat and she may be of some use to Hawke's character in the film. Of course she is a nerdy techno kid so she does come in handy hacking into all the digital cams that have been fixed around the car and naturally she grows to like Hawke's character and wants to help him blah blah blah. I'm not saying this film should be anything epic, the film was released under the Dark Castle Entertainment label which is basically a straight to DVD type get up so in affect you get what you pay for.

*1/2 I really like a good car chase movie. When done right, they can be some of the most exciting action sequences in film. Then you get a movie like "The Getaway. Khia Goes In On Remy Ma And Lil' Kim For Teaming Up Against Nicki Minaj While Visiting Her Injured Brother, Fantasia Took Time To Sing To A Paralyzed Patient.

As I said its not all awful though, the idea is sound and its directed well to be honest. Instead of regular filming we see the main two car occupants through the various in- car digi cams which Voight's character uses to watch them.

Its nothing that incredible but it adds a nice touch of originality to an otherwise slightly unoriginal idea, it does looks good at times. The other main hook is the car chases and car wrecks you see throughout the film.

Think along the lines of 'Ronin' and you're not far off, its not as slick as that film and the fact its all at night means you don't see everything clearly but I can't deny some of it was impressive. Totally daft how these shitty old Bulgarian police cars manage to keep up with this hyper Mustang (or so we're lead to believe, it ain't no rice racer) and its utterly hilarious how this Mustang gets into so many prangs and collisions but suffers hardly any damage!! Its so obvious they wanted the car to remain intact for as long as possible, to remain recognisable, they were probably under instructions by the folk at Mustang. Unfortunately it adds even more to the already high levels of unrealistic nonsense and takes you out of the film completely. At one point Hawke's character slams the car bonnet first into a police car, shunting him off the road, yet the Mustangs headlights still work with no sign of damage! Towards the end we do get some twists and turns which kinda work but leave it feeling a bit convoluted.

Again in order to gain a wider audience they have cast a real duo of classic bad guys leading up to Voight.. Bruce Payne and Paul Freeman. Their roles are so so small so don't get excited, like I said they're there just to add a bit of class but really with such small parts anyone could of played their roles.

Them being there doesn't change anything or make the film better. Its a throw away flick which is a shame because it could of been much better if they ironed out some of the silliness.

There really is so much stuff that just doesn't add up and we don't really learn who Voight's character is or what is overall game plan is, he's just pinching loads of money via computers in an extremely over complicated way it seems. If you like cars/car chases then this may grab your attention, otherwise it offers nothing really.

Getaway - Transformers Wiki. The name or term "Breakaway" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Breakaway (disambiguation). Getaway is an Autobot from the Generation 1continuity family.

Getaway (aka Breakaway) is an escape artist without compare. He's cool- headed and logical under even the craziest, most dire circumstances and that lets him figure his way out of even the trickiest surprise or sneak attack. His reputation for cool- headed escapes is legendary, dating all the way back to the infamous Armornecking Incident on Cybertron.

He even has an escape kit concealed within a hidden compartment in his heel that he can reach even when bound.[1]However, Getaway is also a bot of strong conviction and opinion. And has no problem using his wily cunning to deceive and manipulate others to get what he wants. Even his closest friends. While he understands his dubious morality of his actions, he rationalizes them, feeling the alternative he's preventing is worse. His Nebulan. Powermaster partner is Rev. Fiction. Marvel Comics continuity.

Marvel The Transformers comics. Events from the UK- only comic stories are in italics. Getaway was a member of Fortress Maximus's crew on board the Steelhaven, and was part of a skeleton crew left aboard the ship when everyone else disembarked to watch Grimlock and Blaster battle for leadership on the surface of the moon. Their presence helped prevent Steelhaven from being destroyed in a Decepticon attack. On Fortress Maximus's orders, Getaway, his crewmates, and Goldbug left the battle and took the ship back to Nebulos, on a mission to revive the fallen Optimus Prime. Totaled! They made contact with a friend of the old Nebulan Headmaster leader Galen named Hi- Q, but found that Nebulans had developed an acceptable level of robo- phobia after the Transformers nearly decimated their civilization last time. Hi- Q had led a research project which detonated a bomb in the atmosphere, spreading a molecular revisioning agent that converted all fuel supplies on Nebulos into a type poisonous to Transformer life.

The poisoning passed the "acid test" when a pair of Decepticon vagabonds named Darkwing and Dreadwind came to Nebulos looking for Scorponok's army, and ended up poisoning themselves on local fuel and being rendered inert. Unfortunately, a jealous assistant named Hi- Test stole and modified a new form of bio- mechanical engineering, enabling him and his partner Throttle to binary- bond with the Decepticons and restore them to functionality, bringing Nebulos once more under Decepticon attack. Hearing this story, Getaway and his fellow Autobots attempted to stop the Decepticons, but proved a poor match for these new Powermaster warriors in their weakened condition. Hi- Q and his staff came to respect the Autobots for their devotion to repairing their fallen leader and determination to protect the very people intent on poisoning them if they stayed on Nebulos. They chose to undergo the same Powermaster Process that Hi- Test did, and Getaway was binary- bonded to Rev, one of Hi- Q's aides.

Through this transformation, the Autobots succeeded in restoring Prime to functionality and driving the Decepticons off of Nebulos. Their new Nebulan partners chose to return to Earth alongside Getaway, Prime and the others. People Power! On its way to Earth, the Steelhaven received a transmission advertising the "Cosmic Carnival," an intergalactic traveling show with attractions from many worlds. Getaway wasn't all that impressed with it, and dismissed the whole thing as a "freakshow for malfunctioning morons." Optimus and Goldbug wound up investigating it when they learned that fellow Autobot Sky Lynx was part of the line- up. Due to the carnival's steep admission fee, none of the others wound up partaking in Sky Lynx's rescue. The Cosmic Carnival.

They arrived on Earth during Christmas time. Itching for action while Prime gathered his thoughts, Getaway led the Powermasters to investigate suspected Decepticon activity in the town of Border Flats. Instead they discovered the Autobot Advance Surveillance Unit had made a mess of the town while trying to join in on the festivities. As the Autobots settled down, Optimus Prime returned from his moment alone to impart on Getaway and the rest about their responsibility to the planet. Cold Comfort and Joy! A solid light simulation of Getaway was used in a training mission for the Mayhem Attack Squad.

He was likely among what Snarler referred to as "Autobot non- entities" contained within the simulation. The Hunting Party. After Getaway had reunited with the Autobots aboard the Ark, the ship received a distress call from Earth's surface. In response, Nightbeat assembled a combat team that included Getaway, Siren, Landmine, Hosehead, and himself. Under Optimus Prime's command, they rushed to Earth to help their fallen comrades, only to find what seemed to be mythology come to life: a Deathbringer had come to cleanse the planet of life! Getaway and the others fought valiantly against the Deathbringer, but their efforts proved futile against the seemingly invulnerable foe. Using a plan hatched by Nightbeat, Optimus used the Deathbringer's own programming against it, and caused it to self- destruct, removing Getaway and the others from danger.

Deathbringer. Getaway also defended the Ark against an attack by the borderline deranged Thunderwing. Assault on the Ark! During a battle against Quake, Joyride inadvertently led to a human getting seriously injured. Though Hi- Q built a life- support system to heal the human, its power source was stolen by Throttle. The Autobots' initial attempt at retrieving the battery led to the Dreadwing, Throttle's ship, crashing down into the ocean.

Despite Getaway's complaints that he would rust, he was enlisted alongside the rest of the Autobot Powermasters to retrieve the power cell from the briny deep. Already on a thirty- minute time limit before their Nebulan partners ran out of air, the Autobots were met with further interference when the Seacons turned up. Despite barely holding his own against the likes of Tentakill and Overbite, Getaway was forced to disengage from Rev so that his partner could see the power cell's retrieval through while he carried on fighting. This ultimately led to the Autobots' triumph; as soon as the Dreadwing's cockpit was breached, putting the Decepticon Nebulans inside at risk of drowning, the Seacons abandonned the offensive to rescue them. The Autobots resurfaced with both their hides and the power cell intact.. Getaway from complaining as he spotted a spot of rust on his wrist. Dreadwing Down! When the Decepticon Air Strike Patrol attacked Mac.

Dill Air Force Base in Tampa, Getaway questioned the need for Autobot involvement. Limited resources and personnel meant the Ark would be virtually unguarded if they ventured down to Earth. Nevertheless, Prime insisted. Back from the Dead Getaway's words proved prophetic, however, as it quickly became apparent that the Decepticon Micromasters had lured the Autobots away from the Ark deliberately.

The Resurrection Gambit! Optimus Prime ordered a full Autobot retreat back to the shuttle while he remained behind as a rear guard. Reluctantly, Getaway and the others complied, even when Hot Rod broke ranks to remain behind with Prime. All the Familiar Faces! Back aboard the Ark, Getaway tried to throttle information out of Blackjack, the Micromaster who rigged the Ark with explosives, only to discover the countdown had already begun and was irreversible. Ratchet managed to rig a portal to transport the explosives to Cybertron, but seemingly at the cost of his own life.

Skin Deep. At some point during his time on Earth, Getaway learned that some humans would use credit cards to open locked doors. He immediately procured one for himself, and stashed it in a secret compartment should the need ever arise for it.
