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

A Perfect Getaway, Starring: Steve Zahn, Milla Jovovich, Timothy Olyphant, Kiele Sanchez, Chris Hemsworth, Marley Shelton Struggling Hollywood screenwriter Cliff (Zahn) and his pretty wife Cydney (Jovovich) arrive on Hawaii for their honeymoon and encounter the menacing Kale (Hemsworth) and his girlfriend Cleo (Shelton). Further down the road, Cliff and Cydney meet picture perfect lovebirds Nick (Olyphant) and Gina (Sanchez), who seem too good to be true.

The tropical idyll is rocked by news of brutal murders and a police hunt for a man and a woman, believed to have perpetrated the heinous crimes.

Cliff and Cydney fear the killers are one of the couples they have encountered along the way. As the newlyweds venture deeper into the jungle, unable to get a signal on their mobile phones, paranoia and fear gradually take hold.

A Perfect Getaway doesn’t quite live up to its title but this is a polished genre piece that keeps us guessing until the final act when all of the pent-up tension explodes with an action-packed finale and the spilling of copious blood.

When David Twohy’s grand design is revealed, we’re forced to admit that we’ve been hoodwinked.

A Perfect Getaway, Theatrical/Unrated Director’s Cut

A Perfect Getaway

We watched the director’s cut of A Perfect Getaway so I can’t speak to the theatrical version or whether it was different. But on the directors cut we say Yay-hoo-boo! We enjoyed this movie far more than expected by the ho-hum “honeymooners” trailer. Timothy Olyphant was excellent and we were cheering for him and his girlfriend by the end. This movie had subtlety and action and you really will enjoy the second half more than the first. The first half of the film was a lot of storyline building and character development and some things just don’t make sense in hindsight, but it was a really good weekend flick! (more…)

After watching the previews for A Perfect Getaway prior to it is release in theaters, I decided it was a movie I wanted to see. However, after the movie came and went from the big screen I thought otherwise. Now that A Perfect Getaway is on DVD, I gave it another try and was pleasantly surprised. This is an enjoyable movie for those who appreciate the action and suspense genre. As the previews advertised, three couples on vacation in Hawaii realize that maybe, one couple is not what they seem. Mila Jojovich and Steve Zahn both play against their types. Timothy Olyphant (Hitman), and Kiele Sanchez (Lost), are excellent supporting actors. The story moves quickly, allows the viewer to identify immediately with the main characters. Within the first minutes, we are also introduced to three different couples that all could be the killers. A good movie to watch on a Friday night, with your wife or girlfriend and a bowl of popcorn or wheat grass. (more…)
