Here's what the critics are saying:

You would think there’s a basic formula for movies about fast-moving vehicles: Get character in. Put key in ignition. Get rolling. Unfortunately, “Getaway” gets itself embroiled in all sorts of inane situations. — Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News

In Courtney Solomon's Getaway, the nonsense piles up nearly as fast as the smashed, flipped, T-boned and otherwise trashed cop cars chasing after Ethan Hawke's laughably named Brent Magna and his sidekick, "The Kid." — Ian Buckwalter, NPR

“Getaway” is so bad that what’s most surprising about it is that Nicolas Cage didn’t manage to star in it. — Kyle Smith, New York Daily News

It's hard to know where to start with a movie like "Getaway," whose sole purpose seems to be to hop aboard the "Furious" box office bandwagon. But compared to this lemon, "Furious" is a Scorsese franchise. — Scott Bowles, USA Today
