In order to really enjoy a movie, there are three areas that have to be covered.
One- The dialogue has to be well written.
Two- The plot has to be unpredictable.
Three- It has to have a talented cast.
David Twohy's (The Fugitive) "A Perfect Getaway" knocked all three categories out of the park.
"A Perfect Getaway" introduces us to Cliff (played by Steve Zahn) and Cydney Anderson (played by Milla Jovovich), a pair of newlyweds on their honeymoon in Hawaii. Of course, it wouldn't be an entertaining flick if we just watched Cliff and Cydney basking the bliss of their wedding, being nauseatingly smitten with each other and chilling by the pool. A Perfect Getaway takes the newlyweds deep into the wilderness on a hiking trail that leads to a remote beach. On the way, they encounter a group of terrified campers, who inform them that a couple had been murdered on a nearby island, and authorities fear the killers may have fled into the wilderness.
They encounter a couple other couples on the island, and as the story develops, everyone is a suspect.
It's a fun thriller with a killer twist that you'll never see coming! Timothy Olyphant turns in a very charming, very off-putting performance as "Niko", a veteran who talks a big game, and is "very hard to kill". They shot on location, which leads to some absolutely gorgeous visuals, and will make anyone question if being stuck on an island with murderers would be all that bad.
For fans of thrillers, pretty views, or just good movies, I can not recommend "A Perfect Getaway" enough. It'll leave you on the edge of your seat, and it's a movie you absolutely have to watch twice.
