The Accidental Getaway Driver Ratings & Reviews
FilmWeek (LAist)
Tim Cogshell
A really good little movie.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
There is some poignance in that quasi-paternal relationship, which fills a need both their hard-luck lives previously denied them. But this gracefully made film's rewards don't fully compensate for its slow pacing and under-plotted script.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
The Accidental Getaway Driver sometimes suffers from tedious pacing. However, the movie still delivers effective performances and enough suspense in this drama about a taxi driver forced to transport three escaped prisoners.
Film Threat
Tom Atkinson
More than just a crime thriller, The Accidental Getaway Driver is a melancholic journey through the quiet corners of lost souls.
New York Times
Nicolas Rapold
Sing J. Lee's quiet, big-hearted debut feature is steeped in the sorrow and yearning of its Vietnamese American characters as they work through the lingering trauma of displacement while living in Southern California.
MovieWeb
Julian Roman
The Accidental Getaway Driver skillfully blurs the lines between gritty crime noir and a deeply personal human drama. Stars Hiệp Trân Nghĩa and Dustin Nguyen are fantastic in director Sing J. Lee's feature debut.
Los Angeles Times
Amy Nicholson
Lee's too subtle to say it out loud, but there's a hushed irony in that Long attempted to rebuild a life halfway around the world only to wind up in the same place: captive at gunpoint.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
The intent is to remain in his inner world as he goes through this extreme event, but while it is beautiful and poetic, it is also somewhat abstruse and feels in conflict with the momentum of the larger story.
Next Best Picture
Will Mavity
It could have been an indie masterpiece if it had worked out its tension and pacing issues. As it is, it is still a moving meditation on masculinity, the immigrant experience, and loneliness in modern American life.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
As it probes morality and redemption, this deliberately paced crime drama struggles to build tension and develop sympathy amid its escalating stakes.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
Thoughtful, honorable and sometimes moving, though there may not actually be enough gas in this movie's tank, narratively speaking, to justify even its comparatively brief running time.
Screen Rant
Zachary Moser
The Accidental Getaway Driver is a thoughtful and moving drama that effectively uses language and time to create a compelling relationship.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
[T]he effect of the shift at the center of The Accidental Getaway Driver is jarring.
Variety
Tomris Laffly
Sing J. Lee's striking neo-noir visuals can't save a low-stakes thriller with vaguely developed characters and clunky dialogue.
DwightBrownInk.com
Dwight Brown
A lot of intangibles make you want to acquiesce to Lee's choices. He adds a touch of humanity to what is usually a very callous genre.
RogerEbert.com
Nick Allen
A bold and graceful crime movie.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Todd McCarthy
This is a film that draws you in and offers sufficient satisfactions to attract genre aficionados and others keen to partake of some good new brew in an old bottle.
The Hollywood Reporter
Angie Han
Taut thrills give way to surprising sentiment.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
"The Accidental Getaway Driver" springs from a true story and gently speaks to our need for family and connection. It's unforgettable.
IndieWire
Christian Blauvelt
It's merely a very promising first feature from Sing J. Lee, who's brimming with ideas but might have worked a little more carefully to give them focus.
