What THR's critics say about the movies opening this week.
The boys of One Direction are taking over the big screen on Labor Day weekend.
One Direction: This is Us follows the lives of Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles, Liam Payne and Zayn Malik as they rise to fame and perform for thousands of screaming fans in famous arenas. The concert documentary is directed by Morgan Spurlock.
Meanwhile, Ethan Hawke and Selena Gomez star in the action thriller Getaway. When Hawke's character, Brent Magna, learns that his wife (Rebecca Budig) has been kidnapped, he must get behind the wheel and follow the rules of an anonymous man (Jon Voight) in order to save her. Magna runs into The Kid (Selena Gomez), a computer-saavy girl, as he races against time to find his other half.
