According to Casey Broadwater from Blu-ray.com , The Getaway is `` an effective thriller and that plays with and against some of Peckinpah 's well-noted stylistic trademark '' and `` a well-constructed , lovers on the run-style heist flick '' .
`` Writing for Cinema Crazed , Felix Vasquez also lauded most action scenes and remarked : `` '' The Getaway is a top notch crime thriller with a fantastic turn by McQueen and it 's still the best action movie I 've ever seen . ''
