The Getaway
1972
****
Director: Sam Peckinpah
Cast: Steve McQueen, Ali MacGraw, Ben Johnson, Sally Struthers, Al Lettieri
A heist goes wrong, like they usually do in films. One of the robbers takes off with his wife, while his cohorts try to get him. An ordinary action drama which is made exciting by Sam Peckinpah's sharp direction and Steve McQueen's charismatic deadpan performance.
