Best Action hero ever and a great twosomeTwiggster 01/31/2012 
  I love every movie McQueen was in but this was his best although there are others that nip at it. Bullitt and Tom Horn Great but the Getaway does it for me. He is always a focused person in all his movies but this one he is determined. Bruce Willis is good but he should have studied McQueen closer and become better. Yes Steve McQueen was the Ultimate action hero good guy or bad he was the best.
