Reviews
liff and Cydney (Steve Zahn and Milla Jovovich) are an adventurous young couple celebrating their honeymoon by backpacking to one of the most beautiful, and remote, beaches in Hawaii. Hiking the wild, secluded trails, they believe they’ve found paradise. But when the pair comes across a group of frightened hikers discussing the horrifying murder of another newlywed couple on the isCliff (Steve Zahn) and Cydney (Milla Jovovich) say they simply want a normal honeymoon in Hawaii. But wait: A couple was just murdered in Honolulu! And another couple (Timothy Olyphant, Kiele Sanchez) is kinda creepy! And another couple (Marley Shelton, Chris Hemsworth) is really creepy!
The buzz: Just a hunch, but it sounds like someone's got some bad business coming their way mid-vacation. The question is who, how and why—as if that's never been done before.
The verdict: Writer-director David Twohy ("Pitch Black") so flaunts his cleverness that he overloads this manipulative thriller with hints at the twist. Blown surprise or not, it's a treat to listen to a writer use words to play with a genre's gears and the audience's assumptions. Though not always credible or as tense as it should be, "A Perfect Getaway" packs uniformly well-balanced performances (Olyphant is walking charisma) and doesn't succumb to gratuitous violence or forehead-smacking stupidity. That sounds like smaller praise than it is.
Did you know? A scene of strangers skinny dipping together doesn't result in any death or violence. Proof that this is always a good, safe idea, particularly in the middle of nowhere, particularly in violent thrillers.lands, they begin to question whether they should turn back.
Unsure whether to stay or flee, Cliff and Cydney join up with two other couples, and things begin to go terrifyingly wrong. Far from civilization or rescue, everyone begins to look like a threat and nobody knows whom to trust. Paradise becomes hell on earth as a brutal battle for survival begins
