A Perfect Getaway

Good Movie! Would watch it again!

Excellent take on the horror thriller genre with a few nice twists.

Didn't see that coming. Well worth a watch.

I am very happy, when a movie is gonna surprise me.
In this case exactly that happened - but I don't want to put spoilers here.


What I can say is, that you definitely should watch this movie. There are wonderful pictures of the country, good acting of all actors and actresses. The introduction of the characters do not take that long and you will not get bored this movie, because it is exciting. I was not aware that the islands of Hawaii are that beautiful. It reminded me of some sceneries of Harry Potter and / or Lord of the Rings.

Trakt says, that it is a action movie... well I would say that is kind of true but it is more a thriller that an action movie. When I read action movie, I always thinking of big explosions and such stuff.. That is something that is not gonna happen here.

What I did not like was the backflash which took place to explain some things. One the one hand, if you watched it attentively you do not need that long backflash, because you already know what is gonna happen, and on the other hand I don't like backflashes as an instrument to explain things. There are other ways to do this.


Well I give it 7 out of 10 points.

This was a really fun film to watch. I loved the twists, acting, and action scenes. Of course, it ain't a masterpiece that transcends known filmmaking conventions, but it's genuinely a well-made film that will enthrall all viewers. It can get corny sometimes, but it also served as a great thriller. All in all, a fun film that won't waste anyone's time.

Good movie, good twist you don't see coming, horribly long flashback lol.

A Perfect Getaway (2009) - ❤x6

Okay - not sure if I should praise this movie for hiding the bad guys in plain sight or be angry at how the writers gave us not just bad red herrings but just outright lied to us the entire time. I'm leaning towards the latter.
Having to spend 15-20 minutes backing out of all the lies they fed us at the end of the movie does not good story-telling make.
But overall the movie is fairly good and you might enjoy it .

How I rate:
1-3 ❤ = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 ❤ = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 ❤ = I expect you will like this too
9-10 ❤ = movies and TV shows I really love!

Had a couple of tense moments, but otherwise pretty standard fare. TO's character adds a bit of fun. Beautiful scenery of course. [spoiler]The criminals were so good at taking the place of the newlyweds that they must've been professional actors turned killers![/spoiler]

Bad and dishonest plot, a shame
