TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

cheryllawrence-41883 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.

guil fisher Not sure where to start and what exactly is my negative thoughts as there are so many. First THE SCRIPT; was boring and taking too long to get somewhere. It was obvious to me that the writer wanted to mislead you from the beginning. There was a time when I had to fast forward the movie just to keep it moving. Second THE CAST; not too good. I got real tired of looking at Zahn's silly looking face all the time like he just discovered he was doing a serious movie. He annoyed me. His partner (wifey) was a miss match. They definitely did not belong together. I mean chemistry-wise. Then there were the other two couples both just beefcake ad cheesecake actors to keep your interest perhaps. Finally THE MOVIE ITSELF; to this viewer said very little and I felt a waste of my time as I kept fast forwarding to get through it all. Therefore my reaction was a waste of my time and would rather watch the news.

nicholls_les Not brilliant but a very watchable movie. It has lots of good points. The acting is very good and the scenery amazing. Quite a few have pointed out the surprise ending and that it is inconsistent with what was shown before.Whereas I can understand where people are coming from with that, they seem to miss a very important point. That the two main characters murder people who they then try to become, so that is why you see so many conversations with them wondering who the murderers are when it is in fact them. I agree it could have been done better but that's how I saw it.this was born out by the very end when Mila's character had her partner shot as if she was in fact innocent herself. Exactly what kind of madness they portrayed I do not know, but it is the only thing that makes sense.

gtylerpayne 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.
