A Perfect Getaway Trailers

For their honeymoon, newlyweds Cliff and Cydney head to the tropical islands of Hawaii. While journeying through the paradisaical countryside the couple encounters Kale and Cleo, two disgruntled hitchhikers and Nick and Gina, two wild but well-meaning spirits who help guide them through the lush jungles. The picturesque waterfalls and scenic mountainsides quickly give way to terror when Cliff and Cydney learn of a grisly murder that occurred nearby and realize that they're being followed by chance acquaintances that suspiciously fit the description of the killers.

PROS: The acting was ridiculously good in this film. At some moments in the movie I wasn't sure if these people were or were not actually couples in real life. That's how powerful they were in the film. That for me was the building block for what made the film intense. Those bonds that the actors created gave more tension because you could feel the love they had for each other being threatened, which added a higher stake to fight for. The movie really grabs you and sucks you in to this world that is so screwed up and full of deceit that the fear you feel is just unparalleled to anything that you could've expected when picking a action movie to watch. The final thing that I really enjoyed was the story. The story of the movie is half of what makes a good film a good film. This movie has a story that was fresh and new and exciting. I was really excited to watch this and was even more glad when it lived up to my expectations.CONS: This movie is so close to being 5/5. The only thing that is holding it back is the ending. I loved loved loved the ending, but I wish there was a sneak peak that we could see into the future, but overall please watch!www.chorror.com

I must say that in my 37 years, I haven't seen anything worse and more naive than this movie. Th4e story is unbelievably naive and it doesn't follow up through out the movie. Usually surprises are OK for thriller movies, but this one doesn't make any sense. It is still unbelievable that the movie was rated quite high, with 6,5 this wouldn't be even close to the rating that it deserves. The only thing that is worth seeing is a beautiful Hawaii landscape. The actors did not really give their best, it was more like a third class acting and I hope that people that were responsible for this movie are not in a movie making business any more.

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.

To me what counts the most when I watch a mystery thriller is that I have to try to figure out who are the villains for as long as possible. In A Perfect Getaway you have that feeling for a long time, even though I figured it out way before they actually showed it, I still was not certain so it didn't really matter. The story is entertaining and there is suspense. That's the most important. Then you have the cast. They, of course, have to be good actors preferably. And with Milla Jovovich and Timothy Olyphant you have good actors, so that was okay as well. The filming was fine, even if I had some moments that I was not completely satisfied, but nothing major to bug me. There were also a couple things that didn't really add up, but again nothing major, so all in all it's an entertaining movie. Certainly worth a watch.
