The Getaway | 1994 | R | - 6.8.6
Remake of the eponymous 1972 film, with Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger as a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde.
SEX/NUDITY 6 - Baldwin and Basinger have sex three times and there are several shower scenes also. One particular scene has them in low light, fully nude as she grabs his private parts. Jennifer Tilly is also seen nude, on top of Michael Madsen.
VIOLENCE/GORE 8 - The body count is quite high, and there are many violent and gory scenes. Men are shot throughout the film, usually at close range and with 5-6 bullets pumped into them. There are two hostage situations, which include women forced on the ground at gun point. A dead man is shoved out of a moving car and a man is pushed over a cliff.
LANGUAGE 6 - The F-word is used about a dozen times, as well as a smattering of scatological and anatomical references.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Murder, robbery, imprisonment, adultery.
MESSAGE - Learning to trust is one of the hardest thing you'll ever have to do.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
Gladiator II - 2.7.2
Wicked: Part I - 3.4.2
Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin. - 1.5.3
Emilia Pérez - 6.6.7
