‘A Perfect Getaway’ DVD Review

A Perfect Getaway: Starring: Steve Zahn, Milla Jovovich, Timothy Olyphant, Kiele Sanchez, Chris Hemsworth and Marley Shelton

A Perfect Getaway

Written and Directed by: David Twohy
Starring: Steve Zahn, Milla Jovovich, Timothy Olyphant, Kiele Sanchez, Chris Hemsworth and Marley Shelton

With a cool cast, a decent twist, and Chris “Goerge Kirk/Thor” Hemsworth, this should have been a pretty good movie. Unfortunately when the twist is revealed, it becomes apparent that Twohy came up with the twist, then wrote a movie around it. The results aren’t as good as one would hope. But Hemsworth is really good, as a creepy and angry husband who doesn’t own any shirts. When I saw him I knew he looked familiar, when I saw it was Hemsworth I was suprised, and am now pumped for Thor, he can play clean-cut straight forward (like Kirk) and intense (like this guy). Other than that Zahn and Sanchez are the only two who really present realistic characters. Olyphant is way too over the top, but it sort of works, and the “meta” feeling of the movie becomes apparent and cheesy after a while. I can’t explain that last line because it would spoil the movie, but in retrospect that aspect of the movie is a little cool. The problem is that once the twist happens, you don’t really care anymore. You know the movie will go one of two unfulfilled ways. Either its an unoriginal happy ending that bothers you with its inadequacy, or its an unoriginal bad guys win ending that bothers you because for a bad guys win ending to work it has to be a spectacularly great movie. So its a mediocre, mildly entertaining movie with some cool and respectably parts of the screenplay. The actors all did a fine job, this writer feels what lacked was Writer, Director Twohy’s (Tu-Burger) creativity in the end.

Rating: 6.5/10
