Final Analysis

ASIN: 0783226993
Release Date: 1998-05-27

Amazon.com

"This is going to be the last big score, I promise." Famous last words--uttered by crack thief Doc McCoy to his wife--that set forth a whirlpool of deception and violence in Roger Donaldson's 1994 remake of The Getaway. Bailed out of a Mexican jail by shady businessman Jack Benyon (James Woods) in order to hit an Arizona dog track for him, Doc (Alec Baldwin) and Carol (Kim Basinger) flee for south of the border when the robbery goes wrong, with the million-dollar loot in tow. Following close behind are Benyon's men and Doc's double-crossing partner Rudy (Michael Madsen).

The updated version shares not only the original film's plot, but also the added twist of having husband and wife Baldwin and Basinger step into the roles of the first real-life couple to make the film, Steve McQueen and Ali McGraw. This time, however, the woman's role has been given a tougher '90s edge, with Basinger pulling almost as many punches and firing as many shots as Baldwin, compared to McGraw, who followed McQueen around in wide-eyed, silent terror.

The Getaway maintains the same deliberate, neo-noir pace that made the first film taut, creating a claustrophobic atmosphere in the wide-open, desolate Southwestern landscapes. The scorching sun and heat only add to the strain, making it virtually impossible for anyone to find a dark corner or alleyway to hide in. The car chases and shoot-out finale are charged, though a secondary plot line, between Rudy and the woman he kidnaps and seduces (Jennifer Tilly), comes across as unnecessarily and incongruously brutal. --Natasha Senjanovic

A VERY Good movie!.......2007-05-08

I have never seen the original, but from what I have read it does not compare to this one. Kim and Jennifer are HOT!!! in this movie...especially Kim. This is when Kim was very good looking and the scene of her with her clothes off was worth the price of the DVD. I own this movie and must have watched it about 5 times or more and I never get tired of it. I gave it 4 stars cause I think they should have shown more shots of Jennifer naked. In my opinion this is the one that should be on HD...not the original one.

The Getaway - A great action flick!.......2007-05-03

While "The Getaway" has been widely perceived as a flop of a remake, I've always considered this movie to be one of the better and more intriguing actions flicks of the 90's. The action in this movie is pretty much non stop and only slows down for some intriguing, if not gratuitous, love scenes between the film's two main stars, Alec Baldwin and the ever beautiful Kim Basinger. The film is further enhanced with well played out performances by Michael Madsen, Jennifer Tilly, James Woods and several other bit players.

Although this film was a remake and "generally" followed along the same lines as the original movie, one can definitely say that director Roger Donaldson made this movie his own. Given other film credits such as "No Way Out" and "The Bounty," I'd definitely put this film amongst his best list. The score for the film plays into the film rather seamlessly.

The Premise:

Master criminal Doc McCoy (Alec Baldwin) and his wife, Carol (Kim Basinger) find themselves in the position of having to do "one" last job after Carol negotiates Doc's way out of a Mexican prison. What follows is no less than an exceptional action flick with all the usual tricks; gun battles, betrayal, car chases and a memorable performance by Jennifer Tilly playing a sexy twit.

Overall, this film delivers both drama and action quite well and it effortlessly pushes from scene to scene leading up to an excellent finale. I would highly recommend this film to any and all. {ssintrepid}

Getaway 1972 vs. Getaway 1994!!.......2007-04-16

Both Getaway movies have the same screenplay writen by Walter Hill, both have the slow-mo action and basically they are the same, BUT here are the differences:

Getaway 1972:

* Steve McQueen is WAY COOLER than Alec Bladwin.
* Rudy and his girl are more evil here.
* The car chase scene is at midnight.
* There is no STUPID dog race scene, only a bank robbery scene.
* The characters here are more quiet.
* The first getaway scene is COOLER and EXPLOSIVE!
* The train scene here is a CLASSIC.
* The slap scene is more intense here.
* The jail scenes here are longer.

Getaway 1994:
* There are more emotional scenes in this one.
* Kim Basinger's character is tougher and hotter!
* There are MORE celebrities here than in the original.
* The car chase scene was longer.
* There are sex scenes in this one.
* There is more blood and foul language here than in the original.
* They added one made-up action scene in the begining.
* There is a one to one fight between Rudy and Doc.

In my opinion the Getaway 1972 is better because SteveMcQueen is SOO COOL! you can watch the 1994 remake if you want to but that one is more like a normal action movie than a CLASSIC action movie.

Adios.

The Getaway, The Remake.......2007-04-04

I thought the movie was as good as Steve McQueen's movie,which was also
excellent.

wHY IS IT BAGGED BY CRITICS??.......2006-09-20

Ive seen this remake 2 or three times, same number of times as original, the original is no dispute a great McQueen crime action adventure, but yes, this remake I feel with the noir fence-wash rinse is a great night in, why do professional critics like Maltin seem to have it up with Attack of the Killer Tomatoes??

the action is great,start to finish, all three main characters make a fair fist of stepping into McQueen, McGraw and Al Lettieri's shoes, Bassingers character as the Amazon ed points out is a lot more hands on than McGraw, shes much more of a true Bonnie and Clyde gangsters moll instead of mcGraws passive passenger "I'll just maybe dosome of the driving , you'll have to shoot everybody yourself " approach.
Which is kinduv cool, frankly.

She knows better than to have a go when Doc slaps her around in one scene, which may be more about she feels actual guilt for what she has done ( for him, mind you) rather than she hasnt got the stones to try to defend herself.
Certainly she has no problem later first blowing David Morse's kneecap out with a .45, and then blowing the rest of him away after it. YaY girlpower, huh?
She is in the thick of the gunbattle.

the final rootin-tootin confrontation at the hotel is a screamer, as was the original, Baldwins face when he thinks Madsen has won and will kill him is about right underplayed.
Some criticise the scenes with Meg Tilly and her unfortunate veterinarian husband and his fate, ok, the show is of course one for after the kids are in bed. I dont personally find it gratuitous, is an eye-opener and more Noir, sure.

My sole disappointment was the writing out of the confrontation between McQueen and two Texas rangers outside a hamburger shop in the original , where McQueen hastily goes next door and arms himself by robbing a gunstore , then bails these cops up, disarms them without having to harm them, and shoots up their patrol car, before blowing town.
The Baldwin movie has no mention of this memorable scene.

Original was a tough act to follow, sure, but this stands alone well, is a good night in is totally above average popcorn entertainment, I like it, recommended if you can take a kind of commercial/Noir split which I think works.

Description

Steven Goodson (The Wonder Years' Fred Savage), a nice guy whose dark side emerges when he's dumped by his gorgeous girlfriend in this quirky, sexy comedy. His best friend (Steven Pasquale, TV's Rescue Me), miserably tied down to a wealthy fiancee (Amy Adams, Junebug), urges him to get over his heartbreak by sleeping with as many women as he can. Though he's reluctant at first, Steven hilariously transforms himself from the perfect boyfriend into a heartless dating machine and embarks on an erotic journey through a world of hot strippers, high-priced hookers and unreformed sex addicts. Ironically, the only hope to save his soul lies with a sentimental elementary school teacher who believes in "taking it slow."

The Funniest Movie I've Seen This Year!!!!.......2007-06-28

I heard about this film, and now that I've finally seen it, "The Last Run" is better than I even imagined. I saw "Knocked Up" with my girlfriend the day it opened and thought that was the funniest film I'd seen in a while. But "The Last Run" was even funnier! Fred Savage is in rare top-notch form, Steven Pasquale is ten times better than Paul Rudd, and Amy Adams has never looked better. "The Last Run" is smart and edgy, the writing is incredibly sharp, the directing is captivating and well honed (I particularly like how the evolution of Savage's sexual beast, rousing from flickers of addiction into full-scale personification, is teased out over the course of the first two thirds until ultimately reaching a well earned boiling point). This is a film that should have been released on 3000 screens and grossed $100 million. I'm going to watch it again and again because there are so many lines that are sure to become classics. I hope that this film gives Fred Savage a whole new career because his talents as a comedic actor have been overlooked. Whatever films you see this summer, make sure "The Last Run" is on your list.

off the charts funny!.......2007-06-01

I saw a screening of this a little while back at a film festival mainly because I'm a huge Wonder Years fan. This movie is absolutely hilarious.

The basic premise is Fred Savage finds out his girlfriend of several years is cheating on him so his best friend tells him to go have sex with as many women as he can to get over her. This movie is very funny, but not stupid humor, there are some really smart moments in it. Plus there are tons of really hot women in it, which is always a good thing.

Every guy in the audience will find themselves nodding as Steve (Savage) goes through many of the same situations that you have also whether it be being dumped, shutdown by a girl at a bar, or just hate your job and your boss. I rarely write movie reviews on here because so many people do but this movie might get missed and I think its an instant classic in the making.

Three brothers (Nicolas Cage, Jon Lovitz, Dana Carvey) with a streak of lawbreaking in them head to a small town in Pennsylvania called Paradise, intending to rob a ripe bank there. But the people in the community turn out to be so nice that the thought of ripping them off proves difficult to imagine. The three leads each get to do their uniquely comic shticks, and that makes this film marginally watchable. But the pace is enervating and the story's main idea isn't all that well developed. --Tom Keogh

Description

Three Small time crooks who happen to be brothers (Nicolas Cage, Dana Carvey and Jon Lovitz) pull of a bank robbery in a town called Paradise. As they desperately try to get out of town, the three became trapped by a snow storm and the unexpected kindness of the townsfolk.

A movie deserving of more attention .......2005-09-21

My wife and I enjoyed this movie to rate as one of our
favorites. When you think about this movie, remember
the funny lines and mannerisms from the characters that
didn't need sex or swearing to make this movie oveall
just enjoyable. This movie brought humor and a warm
side to the story. Dana Carvey, nailed this performance
as the total idiot brother, and to see Cages frustration
in dealing with his siblings. It's amazing how many people
never saw or heard of this movie. Definitely a movie that
deserves praise...I rated this movie a 5 for its creativity
without having to bring profanity, violence, or sex to the
screen.

Hilarious and charming at the same time..........2005-02-14

This little known movie is one of my favorite movies of all time. It's great for the holidays but charming enough for anyone at anytime.
If you want to laugh out loud for two hours - watch this movie. It will instantly become a family favorite, especially at Christmas...

CAGE IN A GILDED PARADISE.......2005-01-22

TRAPPED IN PARADISE is a surprisingly charming and fun to watch movie, that could be enjoyed at Christmas or any time of year. The movie has the feel of one of those forties or fifties charmers, where the bad guys aren't so bad and they become good guys once they realize what life is really all about.
While the leads (Nicolas Cage, Dana Carvey and Jon Lovitz) are all very good, the movie's heart lies in the supporting performances: Florence Stanley as the boys' potty-mouthed mom; Donald Moffatt and Angela Paton as the Andersons, the bank president and his wife who unbeknownst to them are having the bank robbers for Christmas dinner; Madchen Amick (Twin Peaks) as the convict's sweet daughter; John Ashton as the redneck deputy; and Richard Jenkins as the putupon FBI agent. The scene where the bus depot clerk gives the duplicitous Cage enough money to get his ticket home is heart tugging, showing just how nice the people of Paradise really are.
Goofy and off the wall, TRAPPED IN PARADISE worms its way into your heart and is one of those critically panned movies that is much better than they thought! Enjoy!

Not sure why this movie is so disliked.......2004-12-08

Way back in 1990 something when this movie came out, it was screened as a student feature at the college I was attending at the time prior to it's release in theathers. I went with a good friend of mine, and we seemed to be the only people in the theater laughing. After the movie hit theaters, all of the reviews were negative as if the movie featured a cast of unknowns instead of three very well established entertainers, two of whom are very gifted comedians. While all three actors have had better roles, they work well together with Cage being the straight man to Lovitz and Carvey's comedic banter. Yes, I realize that the premise of this movie is somewhat far fetched, but that's why it's a movie and not a news story. The movie has its fair share of laughs with a healthy dose of Christmas spirit. It gets watched every holiday season at my house, and I recommend it to anyone who is capable of watching a movie and being OK with the fact that it is a work of FICTION! Anyway, enjoy the movie, the calesthenics schtick by Lovitz during the bank robbery alone is worth the price of admission.

As they celebrate their high school graduation, four friends are involved in a hit-and-run accident when their car hits--and apparently kills--a pedestrian on an isolated roadway. They dispose of the body and vow to keep the incident a secret, but a year later somebody starts sending them letters bearing the warning "I Know What You Did Last Summer." At that point the panicked foursome becomes the target of an elusive serial killer whose disguise consists of a fisherman's slicker and a lethal ice hook. Part mystery and part slasher flick, this thriller was heavily hyped as a follow-up to Scream by screenwriter Kevin Williamson (who later created the TV series Dawson's Creek), and like Scream it's a showcase for a teenage cast including Jennifer Love Hewitt and Sarah Michelle Gellar. And while this shocker isn't as inspired as Scream, it's guaranteed to give its target audience a few good thrills as it dives toward a routine climax of mayhem and murder. Based (rather loosely) on the popular novel by Lois Duncan. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews:

jeee wizzz this film is trite and trivial: A ' 0' Star.......2007-05-25

The acting is beyond laughable. I would assume the majority of the individuals who shelled out 10.00 to see this in the theatres and made it gross the amount of loot it did, are the same ones who live in towns like Pawtucket, Rhode Island and New Bedford, MA and Hampton Beach, NH.

oh dear, truly, absolutely, without any question whatsoever: this is a total joke. Grody and simply unbearable.

If Only.... They were all this original!.......2007-01-07

Without a doubt one of my favourite horror movies I have ever seen. The premise is original as well as interesting.

The core ensemble consisting of Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ryan Phillipe are thrown into a terrifying quest to survive when they begin to recieve letters regarding an incident that happened the year before, involving the core cast.

The highlights of the movie would be the originality of the whole thing and the cast of actors whom at the time were upcoming talented actors..

And not to mention that Sarah Michelle Gellar has one of if not the most nail biting and amazing chase scenes in the history of horror films.

In conclusion a film that is definetly worth viewing just avoid the pathetic sequel attempts!

Nothing is scarier than Freddie Prinze Jr's acting........2007-01-05

There are only two good things about this movie: one, the pure novelty of seeing Sarah Michelle Gellar and Jennifer Love Hewitt in the same movie, and two, the great music (cool soundtrack, plus an actual appearance by Southern Culture on the Skids). Other than that, this is pretty darn bad. Although, I have to say that the laughably awful performance from Freddie "one facial expression for every occasion" Prinze Jr. can be really entertaining, but for all the wrong reasons. Also, this movie has what is probably the most ridiculous scene in the history of movies: the scene in which Jennifer Love Hewitt kind of starts to freak out, and the blonde dude grabs her and is practically strangling her, and her idiot boyfriend (Prinze, naturally) is just standing there like a dumb@ss watching him do it. Man, if anyone even thought about touching my girlfriend like that, I'd break his arm at the very least, I don't care if he's my friend or not. Well, at least they made fun of how dumb it was in "Scary Movie".

So anyway, yeah, one star for me. This was even worse than "Scream" (at least that one had a cool opening scene). My advice is to pick up the soundtrack, and leave the movie on the shelf.

The actors make this movie!.......2006-08-26

If any other actors did this movie, I don't think anyone would've given it a second glance. But the superb cast makes a weak script (that has been done over and over!) work and makes one care about what happens to them.
It is grisly, of course, but you CARE what happens.
You can't go wrong with Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze, Jr., Jennifer Love Hewitt and Anne Heache.
They MAKE this movie!

The most chilling movie that was made!.......2006-07-23

I Know What You Did Last summer starring Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze Jr., and Ryan Phillipe is by far my favorite horror movie in my mind. I've read the novel by Lois Duncan but this movie was far better.

Again its about four teens who accidentally kill a man on a 4th of July bash after being drunk. They make a pact to keep the truth a secret after they dump his body in the water. Julie James (Hewitt) feels bad for them and Barry Cox (Phillipe) is the one who refuses to tell and ruin his secret. About a year later after the first year of college, Julie gets a note from a mysterious stranger titled "I Know What You Did Last Summer" at first it seems like a joke after she reports it to her boyfriend Ray Bronson (Prinze), Helen, and Barry. Soon it starts to get deadly as a mysterious stranger in a hood starts to attack them and stalk them-literally.

He makes warning about when he will strike he actually lets them live-for awhile. Many scenes in the movie are so chilling that I was sweating. Finally the killer makes his movie and hunting each of them down one by one. Each character had their own depth to them. You could tell a lot about the characters. I hear that Lois Duncan was really upset that they made her classic novel into a slasher movie. She had no idea what she was getting into when she signed the release papers for her book so they could turn it into a movie.

Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy The Vampire Slayer, The Grudge, The Grudge 2, Cruel Intentions, Scooby Doo 1-2, and the eagerly awaited Southland Tales) pretty much owned the movie. She was a great supporting character and you could tell a lot about her. There is so much depth to it. Sadly the killer chases her and slashes her to death.

The movie ended well only two of the four people who killed the man died. Barry and Helen died. As well as other non-important characters. I actually felt bad for the fate of Helen but in Horror movies thats what happens to the supporting female role. The end of the movie kept me breathless-that's because I saw it when I was 12 years old. This is one of my favorite movies of all time.

Older teens will be able to appreciate it! Have fun!

School of Rock with class!.......2007-04-27

It's the quintessential school of rock story, but more about the teacher and his issues than the students themselves. Plus a love story to boot. That said I don't know that I would call this a chick flick, though it does have Robson Green (yum). It's got wonderful acting, strong story plot and people that actually fence, not actors that learned for the role (or so it appears to me). Very unique story out of the UK, that I think that everyone would enjoy.

Powerhouse creative forces unite, and sparks fly, in Mirra Bank's award-winning LAST DANCE. Bank follows the dazzling Pilobolus Dance Theater and legendary author-illustrator, Maurice Sendak (Where the Wild Things Are) as they collaborate on the dance-theater work that honors a haunting holocaust legacy. LAST DANCE weaves rehearsal footage, probing interviews, chilling Nazi propaganda footage and breathtaking performance into a thrilling insight into the creative process. The film holds nothing back as philosophies clash, confrontations abound, and artistic disaster threatens at every turn. But in the end we are rewarded as Pilobolus dancers -- pure bolts of force and grace -- give life to a stark and stunning dancework.

Wonderful Full Length Modern Dance Documentary!.......2006-06-29

This dvd gives us a very complete view of the creation and rehearsal of the dance theater piece entitled "A Selection". This is a dance piece about a very difficult subject to handle in dance: the Holocaust. The original idea for this was developed by Maurice Sendak who collaborates with the modern dance company known as Pilobolus Dance Theatre. To make this clear, please understand that the name of this documentary dvd is "Last Dance" and the name of the dance piece they develop about the Holocaust is "A Selection". The entire performance of "A Selection" is not included, but at the end of the documentary, highlights from one of the actual performances are included. The style of dance is a somewhat acrobatic modern dance. The dancing itself is very exciting, but we are exposed to quite a bit of excitment from the very emotional and vocal verbal exchanges that take place over all the creative differences, not the least being how to portray such gut-wrenching subject matter in dance. The rehearsal scenes are very exciting, taking place in a dance room with great camera work. This is a very lively documentary! In terms of artistry and dance technique, I highly recommend this, but I should warn viewers of some features that might influence whether they want to buy this: first, there is quite a bit of nudity of both men and women(the reason for this is explained as being artistically necessary and it was something they argued about quite a bit); with all the arguing, there is a lot af adult language; finally, the dance rehearsals include, as all dance rehearsals do, light hearted moments and humor and the use of humor as part of the artistic vehicle is also disscussed; because of the seriousness of the subject(the Holocaust) this might offend some viewers(and it has!). The dvd also includes plenty of bonus interviews and background on all the dancers, so the total running time is about two hours. If you are not sensitive to the drawbacks mentioned, you should enjoy this greatly.

WARNING: THE LAST DANCE shw is NOT INCLDD.......2005-04-21

This is a behind the scenes look at the creative process and collaberation behind the "where the wild things are bk''s illustrator (Maurice Sendek) and the Pilobolus dance theaters intrepreation of their 'LAST DANCE' piece.
What you get is footage of alot of rehearsals, and creative studiochoreographic ideas, as well as footage of the effort behind cstmng & stage backdrop.
WHAT IS MISSING is the final completed performance of the LAST DANCE piece, they show a few brief seconds of performance highlights, but not any of the performance from start to finish. I FEEL VERY DECEIVED & MISLEAD by the packaging on the DVD, YOU DO NOT GET 'LAST DANCE' as a filmed choreogrphic piece, you only see the work that goes into creating the entire mis en scene and choreogrphy. THIS DVD IS NOT WORTH THE FULL PRICE, BE WARNED, you are not receiving what the title and packaging leads you to beleive you will see.

Pilobolus.......2004-12-31

A no holds insider's view of how the unique dance Company Pilobolus creates. No other company in America uses the group approach for creating spectacular dances.It works for them but Sendak appears to have found the process very stressful.

Description

Lovers. Outlaws. A man and a woman running from their pasts are trapped on a collision course with the future in this explosive, erotic love story set against the breathtaking backdrop of the West. Mickey Rourke (Wild Orchid, Angel Heart), stars as Frank T. Wells, a newly-released ex-con looking for a few acres of freedom on the rodeo circuit. Lori Singer (Short Cuts, VR.5), is Scarlett Stuart, a wild - and wildly beautiful - woman on the run from a bank robbery gone desperately wrong. Together they will explore their own personal vision of the American Dream - and a boundless passion reeling out-of-control. But when the past threatens to catch up with them in the form of an old rodeo buddy turned Montana sheriff (Brion James, The Player, Silverado), the stage is set for a shattering climax that will change all of their lives forever. Mickey Rourke, Lori Singer

Good Flick........2005-03-15

This is one of Rourkes lesser known movies that went straight to video, but dont let that fool you, as this is another great leading performance by Rourke. Micky does his job as an actor breathing life into his charater, and bringing the movie alive in a way that lesser actors would fail. The actress who plays his love interest does a fine job as well. Where the movie falls short is in the paint-by-numbers Hollywood type story line, and a terrible performance by an actor who plays the crazy redneck brother of Rourkes love interest, who plays the stupid, inbred, trailer park, white trash, bad guy the same way we've seen this type of character played a thousand different times in other movies... only worse. Thankfully, he is only in a few scenes. All in all, this is a well-acted, solid good little film.

A GOOD FILM.......2005-02-23

I like this film alot. The combination of the legendary Mickey Rourke and the all time favourite Lori Singer was well cast, I thought. I really enjoy this film. Frank T.Wells and Scarlett, are intreresting characters, you want them to stick together and end up well.

Great, Disturbing Film.......1999-09-06

This is a great, disturbing film about a former convict/rodeo rider (Mickey Rourke) who falls in love with a beautiful, emotionally disturbed young woman (Lori Singer) who, because she can't shake her life of crime, brings down the man who loves her. Very downbeat film with some great moments

Description

The last bandit riders, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were America's most famous outlaws in 1900. Cassidy and his Wild Bunch robbed banks and trains along an outlaw trail from Wyoming to Colorado to Southern Utah. But with Pinkerton detectives pursuing, Butch and Sundance fled to South America. Trapped by Bolivian officers, they died in a bloody gunfight. Or did they? Was Butch reborn as William T. Phillips in Spokane 20 years later? Did the West's last badman escape the law in the end?
