And it seems that Selena Gomez is enjoying her turn as a bad girl.
The multi-talented 20-year-old can be seen as a gun-toting hacker in the newly released first trailer for Getaway.

Selena stars as a character known only as The Kid, who inadvertently becomes Brent’s sidekick when she attempts to steal his vehicle.
