A Perfect Getaway (2009)
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.

Really Surprised!
Good start, but then it gets ruined
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
This film wants to be a more modern version of A Most Dangerous Game and it falls short. If you like A Perfect Getaway then do yourself a favor and watch A Most Dangerous Game (1932)... it's much better than this film.
Honestly this was the worst movie I ever ever seen. The story doesn't make any sense. A couple scared of killers all the time, and then it comes - they are the killers themselves. It doesn't make any sense and I still can't believe that such a story ended as a movie.
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 movie definitely works. It's paced well and keeps you guessing. When the twist comes, I was genuinely surprised. It's a pretty simple movie that works because of a well thought out story and a solid script. With those things in order, a movie always has a good chance of working.The other elements of the movie were pretty solid over all but nothing special. I wasn't impressed with the cinematography. It's okay, but could have been better and much more creative and artistic, especially in such a scenic location.The acting was okay, and the cast mostly worked, but I could see other actors bringing another dimension to the roles.My main complain, and this is mostly a directorial thing, but also editing and cinematography, was after the big reveal, it cut to flashbacks that explain the story, which went on way too long in my opinion. It gets the job done, but I could see it done in a cooler way.Overall, it's a movie that works, but with a more creative director, it could have been really great. Instead, the director got the job done effectively, but didn't really stylize it in a notable way.Definitely a movie worth watching. You probably don't need to own it or watch it over and over, but the first viewing will make for good solid entertainment.
