debrabutler-78823 A perfect getaway is a decent enough film and if nothing else you can enjoy the Hawaiin scenery, but I found the twist way before I should have and upon reading other people's accounts it seems like the director should have been more discreet. I will not spoil anything of course but the basic premise is about a couple who go to a Hawaiin retreat and meet another couple with a shady temperament. Steve Zahn, Milla Jovovich and Timothy Olyphant are all good actors and give fine performances, but the script is a letdown. Oh well, you will surely love the gorgeous tropical locations.

adonis98-743-186503 Two pairs of lovers on a Hawaiian vacation discover that psychopaths are stalking and murdering tourists on the islands. A Perfect Getaway (2009) is one of those rare good movies that go straight up to DVD and their actually pretty clever you know? This film keeps you guessing for who the actual killers are and once it finally gets revealed although it did came across my mind it was still a clever twist overall, the cast does a really great job especially the 4 main leads Milla Jovovich, Steve Zahn, Timothy Olyphant and Kiele Sanchez. Plus you also get a small but interesting first look to Chris Hemsworth in this movie 2 years before he became 'The God of Thunder'. The suspense hits the roof, the action is well edited and the characters alongside the actors do a pretty good job and although the movie dragged in some parts it still was able to deliver with that very smart twist in the end and personally i think you won't be disappointed by this film. (8/10)

tomgoodwin815 A Perfect Getaway is living proof that a famous cast DOES NOT make a good movie.This is a really dull, lifeless movie which keeps the viewer under the illusion that at some point in time, something exciting is going to happen, but it never does. I watched about two thirds of A Perfect Getaway, and gave up because it got SO boring. I always see movies through to the end, even when I'm not particularly enjoying them, but for this one I felt obliged to make an exception. If you want almost two hours of literally nothing, go right ahead and watch this. But if you like movies in which stuff actually happens, do yourself a favour and get away, seriously.

Gordon-11 This film tells the story of a newlywed couple who goes on a honeymoon in Hawaii. They read the news about a double murder in Hawaii, and the killer is on the lose. Everyone on the island is in panic as a result."A Perfect Getaway" shows very beautiful Hawaiian scenery. The sky is always clear, the water is crystal blue and the trees perfectly green. This paradise is the setting to a gruesome murder, and viewers have to guess who is the real killer. The first half of the film is a little boring, as it takes time to set the scene. I also find it a bit annoying and over the top that they decided not to show Chris Hemsworth's face in the first scene that he appears! This would not have happened if he had the current fame and popularity back then.The second half of the film is more action, with cruel acts inflicted on characters. However, the scenes are somehow weird and does not scare me. In fact they make me giggle, especially the scene where the guy in the canoe wakes back up in water and the shot immediately after that.Overall, "A Perfect Getaway" is an OK film to pass time, but just don't expect too much.
