Danielle I stumbled on this 2009 movie over the weekend looking for something to watch. I normally would not have chosen a movie that looks like a cheap thriller in the line of The Ruins, but I was pleasantly surprised. This is entertaining and, well, surprising. It stars Steve Zahn and Milla Jovovich, as well as Timothy Olyphant, who is one of my celebrity crushes, and the main reason that I watched it at all. It was made by David Twohy, who is best known for Pitch Black and Riddick. Not sure why so many of the users here complain about the ending - it was explained adequately in my opinion, and if it was contrived, that doesn't detract from the general entertainment value of the film. It didn't change my life, but it was a fun 2 hours.

Jamesabarber I would have rated it higher as the location is amazing. The action is pretty good other than the fact you have to wait until the end for any real action. The plot holes that were created by the writer were immediately obvious as soon as the credits begin to role and you think back on Act1 and 2 scenes that mislead you. Cheating by purposely misleading the viewer does not make for a good twist. It just makes you question was it due to a sloppy rewrite, running out of budget once filming began and not being able to re-shoot scenes, or change the script to support the twist...Anyone that pays attention to the movie will realize they were cheated. Things could have been improved with a little effort and it would have easily been an excellent movie.If you don't have many other choices on a late Saturday, give it a view and weigh in on how much the misleading twist disturbs you :-) .

Andreas Vilic 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.

The Couchpotatoes 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.
