The Getaway is typical, enjoyable Peckinpah. McQueen and McGraw are exactly what you'd expect – the kind of action stars who are great at action but whose acting is so good that you forget that their real purpose is to shoot people or plot heists. The script for The Getaway is great, and it's a kind of unconventional heist film in that the heist takes place early on and the rest of the film is the getaway – styled, in other words, along the line of The Thomas Crown Affair. It's a totally serviceable genre picture.
