So I finally saw A Perfect Getaway, and I have to say it was enjoyable. However, it is hard to make an extremely good Thriller these days... therefore there were some flaws included. It definitely wasn't the attractive cast (Mila Jovovich, Steve Zahn, Timothy Olyphant, Kiele Sanchez, Chris Hemsworth and Marley Shelton) it had to have been the long, played out hike these actors took throughout the entire movie. I have to say the Plot Twist was good... which gave the movie points for me. Yet, all I was seeing for about 70 minutes was the beautiful scenic views of Hawaii.
( if I wanted to watch that, I would've settled for the Travel Channel!)
The story goes that a newlywed couple is on their honeymoon in Hawaii and decide to venture out on a dangerously famous hiking trail. Sydney and Cliff (Jovovich and Zahn) are so intoxicated by their love for each other and their attempt to have the best honeymoon that they are unaware of a murder that occured in Hawaii. A murder of a young, newlywed couple is buzzing around tourist, however Sydney and Cliff don't hear about it until they're already in the midst of their honeymoon hike. They are joined with another couple (Olyphant and Sanchez) that guide them to a beautiful secluded beach, but are concerned by another mysterious couple on the same trail (Hemsworth and Shelton). The tension becomes overwhelming for the two friendly or not-so-friendly couples and plots are made. However, which one of these couples are not who they say they are?
With a twist in the end, this movie is adequate for those seeking a decent summer thrill. The acting was good along with the action that finally made its appearance. I always look to my girl Milla to make a good action scene!
