Have you ever had to speed from one location in the next to save a loved one from faceless vaguely European voices coming out of your cell phone?
Probably not, but in action films it seems to be more and more of a common occurrence. Take Warner Brothers’ new Getaway feature (not to be mistaken as a remake of either the Steve McQueen or Alec Baldwin films of the same). With his wife kidnapped, Ethan Hawke’s ex-racecar driver must team with a street-wise carjacker (Selena Gomez) to obey the orders of a shadowy radio voice. Or else. Trailer below.
Getaway is directed by Courtney Solomon (An American Haunting, Dungeons & Dragons) and also stars Jon Voight, Rebecca Budig and Paul Freeman. It races into theatres August 30.
