A Perfect Getaway, (The Blu-ray holds additional supplements, including an alternate ending.) Writer and director David Twohy cheats and plays tricks on his audience. But he delivers a gripping adventure-mystery with several unforeseen twists that force the audience to change allegiances and perceptions.
A honeymooning couple (Steve Zahn and Milla Jovovich) travels to Hawaii’s most remote island for a prolonged hike to an even more isolated beach. Along the way, they encounter two other questionable hiking couples and end up traveling with one (Tim Olyphant and Kiele Sanchez). Meanwhile, they learn on their BlackBerry that a couple in Honolulu has been brutally mutilated.
Twohy casts doubt over everyone, setting his film up for a chilling third act filled with action and violence. During the mayhem, cinematographer Mark Plummer ably captures the stunning Hawaiian scenery.
The DVD offers both R-rated (98 minutes) and unrated (108 minutes) versions. Please don’t forget, the Blu-ray holds additional supplements, including an alternate ending!

A Perfect Getaway, (Rated R, 97 minutes): David Twohy’s thriller/romance/travelogue seems to have enough red herrings on board to scuttle a cruise ship to Hawaii, which is where Cliff (Steve Zahn) and Cydney (Milla Jovovich) have gone on their honeymoon. However, upon arriving, they hear the story about honeymooners being murdered by a couple back in Honolulu. Then they meet Gina (Kiele Sanchez) and Nick (Timothy Olyphant), who has a titanium plate in his head, a crazed look in his eye and a sufficient number of Iraq war stories to curl one’s hair. Contains violence, vulgarity, sexual content and drug use.
7 out of 10 stars.

30 Days of Night: Dark Days To Be a "War" Movie
Kiele Sanchez on set for 30 Days of Night sequel Shooting has wrapped on the 30 Days of Night sequel, 30 Days of Night: Dark Days, and producer J.R. Young told fans of the first movie will be very pleased with what he described as a “war movie”.
I think the second film definitely stays within the world of the first film and it stays true to the second graphic novel in the series for those fans out there. The story is within that world but there are differences and a lot of that is due to the graphic novel. The first film is very much a survival film and this next one is all about revenge. There’s an action component. The last one is a western, this one is more of a war movie. It’s taking the battle to the vampires. (more…)

A Perfect Getaway :: International Poster
A Perfect Getaway is a mystery, suspense thriller that doesn’t keep up the mystery or suspense. Obviously the filmmakers were trying to throw twists and turns in the story to keep the audience guessing. However, the filmmakers forgot to make us care enough. The actors aren’t developed enough for the audience, we don’t sit on pins and needles or jump at the “starling” moments.
“A Perfect Getaway” is the story of newlyweds honeymooning on a Hawaiian island. Turns out that there has been a gruesome murder of a newlywed couple on an adjacent island. Cliff and Cydney are the newlyweds. They are headed for an 11-mile trail that leads to a dead end beach. Along the trail, the couple meets Nick (Timothy Olyphant) and Gina (Kiele Sanchez). The film then spends too long with the couples trying to decide whether the other couple is the killer of the newlyweds. Meanwhile, a disgruntled couple seems to be following the two other couples on the trail. Of course anyone that knows these types of films, knows that they are not the killers. (more…)
