“Get in. Get out. Getaway.”
Exactly my sentiments for this 2013 action/crime/thriller that was written by Sean Finegan and Gregg Maxwell Parker and directed by Canadian Courtney Solomon. Ethan Hawke is a decent-enough actor, but for a film so predictable and whose plot has been exhausted so many times already; it was pretty easy for viewers to stop focusing on what characters were saying and just focus on the car slamming into things.
The dialogue by Selena Gomez was pitiful and her strength in the movie could have been done without; it was a lot of ‘’ass-hole’’ and “shit” comments and blaming going on and it got old real fast (no pun intended). Her acting was not believable at all. With a budget of $18 million USD this film did not make it back at the box-office and didn’t inspire, teach a lesson or have a solid ending.
Filmed in Bulgaria; it could have very well been filmed anywhere. Besides cars and running people, the entire film took place over the course of a few hours at night; and there was no massive distinction on the importance for a European location; not to mention 2 American characters who just so happened to relocate to Bulgaria to live.
