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.

The film follows Ethan Hawke as washed up race car driver Brent Magna, who is roped into helping out the mysterious man behind a chilling voice (Paul Freeman) when his wife is kidnapped.
Selena stars as a character known only as The Kid, who inadvertently becomes Brent’s sidekick when she attempts to steal his vehicle.
