The Getaway (1972) and The Getaway (1994) Review
Two adaptations of Jim Thompson's novel. 1972 Peckinpah with Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw foundational.
Director: Sam Peckinpah
Sam Peckinpah directed The Wild Bunch, Straw Dogs and Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, and his use of multi-camera slow motion in the violence changed how action was cut for decades. He fought studios constantly and several of his films exist in competing versions.
