Finally, good writing + action

by coarr

I hadn't read any reviews when I got dragged to this thing, which sounded like just another lame slasher movie. Somehow I've gotten used to really crappy commodity films. This is not one of them. It's clever, it's entertaining, and it's filled with surprises.

Surprised

by isugreen

I am so glad that I went to see this movie. After reading the reviews, I nearly didn't. I found it quite enjoyable given the scenery, plot twists, and suspense.

Loved It!

by PhiMu09

I thought this movie was great. It's not a sick, gory film. It was suspenseful and character driven. I would recommend it to anyone who misses a good scary movie that doesn't make you wish you hadn't eaten dinner.

Intense movie

by GJoz

Great movie with lots of action and suspense. I was expecting a slasher film, but got a whole lot better movie. The serial killers picked on the wrong victims. If you got bored in this movie... well, you might want to get checked for ADD. I'll see it again.

Definately different!

by erc2dster

At the start of the movie, you think you have things pretty much figured out (though you can't help second-guessing yourself). From one scene to the next you're constantly shifting your opinion of who the "bad guys" are. The twist in this movie is AWESOME. I can't remember the last time I was so shocked by the turn of events in a film. My only criticism is that, right at the turning point, you're not exactly sure why things have suddenly changed. When the girl you suspect to be the killer is flipping through pics on the digital camera I didn't get a good enough view of what she saw, so when she runs off all terrified I was like, "Huh? What the heck just happened?" And I couldn't really enjoy it for the next few minutes trying to figure out HOW she figured it out. Anyway, still well worth the money. Did not disappoint!

AWESOME movie!

by borene13

I am so surprised by the bad reviews... I absolutely loved this movie. Granted it was not the thriller/ suspense movie I was expecting from the previews... but, the scenery is beautiful, the plot is well thought out especially the twist that I never saw coming... the acting was good and I honestly really enjoyed everything about it. I was not expecting much, but this movie was much better than I thought.

I'd Probably Watch It Again

by ajpere

This was a pretty good movie. Not great, but more entertaining than a lot of the junk out there. Suspenseful and a little scary, but not gory. I appreciated that. Really tired of slasher films filled with horrific over-the-top violence and blood. If you are a fan of mysteries and suspense, then the 'plot twist' probably won't surprise you. But overall fairly entertaining 1 1/2 hours.

Quirky fun and worth the admission

by phoenix00a

This movie has all the ingredients for perfection and will eventually even rise to 'cult status' after it's initial public theater run is over and the critics stop trying to b**tch-slap it. Just like Pitch Black. The 'red herrings' are perfectly placed and used with confidence by the director. What I found most interesting is that the director was not afraid to bring attention to the fact that it's really hard to surprise people in a movie. Everyone knows that in order to truly surprise the audience, the killer has to be out in the open and visible most of the time. Well The Perfect Getaway does that perfectly. The killer is right there, walking and talking with the 'victims'. Ok most people will figure out that the killers are one couple or the other, but the question of 'which one is it?' shifts continually. David Twohy has never made a typical movie. They are quirky and will shamelessly take plot missteps in order to get us to the payoff. And this one has a really great payoff!

"A Perfect Getaway" review

by VFORD9016

I really enjoyed the twists and turns of the movie. You really never would have know who the killers were. I enjoyed every moment:-)

A Perfect Getaway wasn't a perfect movie

by thesilentcat4

A Perfect Getaway was so stereotypical in its character choosing. You had the newly-wed "innocent" people, the very nasty killer looking people, and the sorta crazy-yet sorta cool and protective people. And thats all the movie brings to the table, and one reason why it wasn't really a good movie was because they took one of those groups out WAY to early(they were arrested), and we never saw a reappearance of them again. So just imagine two couples walking in a forest and trying to figure out who is the murderer, its not too exciting. The acting is pretty well done in this, yet it doesn't make up for the pretty thin story they made this to be. They say it has a "twist" at the end...well all I can say is that yeah theres a twist, but I sure as hell saw it coming a while before it came up. I was really disappointed with A Perfect Getaway because I thought maybe it wouldn't be too bad, but it just was.

SO-SO MOVIE, maybe go see it

A must see!

by CondemnedSoul27

To be honest, I went to see this movie for three reasons. 1). Because Milla Jovovich is in it :-) 2). Because I am a horror craver, so a thriller such as this was close enough, and 3). Because it's made by ROGUE, which always produces high quality films. This one had a great story, superb video and sound quality, typical for any rogue film. With that said, this movie is excellent! Top notch acting, plenty of twists and turns that kept me guessing all the way to the end! I praise this film because after I watched the trailer I thought I had it all figured out, but I've never been so glad to be wrong! I deeply enjoyed the psychological aspects this film has to offer, as it always kept me engaged, thinking, and never lost my interest, and although this film isn't as much a horror picture as I suspected, there are a few jump moments in there, and as a whole, this film did not dissapoint and I'm very glad I went to see it! Creative, original, I haven't seen a film like this in too long!

A Movie For Not-Everybody...

by kdealy2001

Being a person that loves twists and plots in a movie, I felt this one was good, but not great. It had slow moments in untwisting plots but it kept me intrigued enough to try to figure out whats goin on. There was a nice surprise near the end of the movie, wouldve never suspected the ending to turn out the way it did. Overall, I think it would be interesting for some but not all....
