Review: A Perfect Getaway

A Perfect Getaway follows a newly wed couple while they are on their honeymoon in Hawaii. The main portion of the movie follows them as they hike to a secluded beach. All seems to go according to plan until we learn that a murderous couple is on the loose. Unfortunately for our main protagonists, they just happen to meet up with two very odd acting couples. The tension soon grows as all begin to wonder if the killers are in their midst.

A Perfect Getaway holds your attention for the most part. I seldom ever found my mind wandering to other things. I really did like the story and I can honestly say that this was like nothing that I had ever seen before. The acting was par for the course, there were a few times though in which I believed that some of the actors were trying a little too hard.

With the good you have to have the bad. The movie seems to fall apart at about the third act. The twist is revealed too early and overall it was done just to have a happy ending. The so-called twist that the movie's trailer boast of can be predicted from the start of the movie. In fact, I knew what the twist was going to be once I saw the trailer.

While this movie has some good points, there is just not enough to warrant a go now rating. Bottom Line.......

RENT IT!!!
