Perfect Getaway

The Story:

Cliff (Steve Zahn) and Cydney (Milla Jovovich) are an adventurous young couple celebrating their honeymoon by backpacking to one of the most beautiful, and remote, beaches in Hawaii. Hiking the wild, secluded trails, they believe they’ve found paradise. But when the pair comes across a group of frightened hikers discussing the horrifying murder of another newlywed couple on the islands, they begin to question whether they should turn back. Cliff and Cydney join up with two other couples, and things begin to go terrifyingly wrong. Far from civilization or rescue, everyone begins to look like a threat and nobody knows whom to trust.

Review:

Okay, don’t read my review if you don’t wanna find some spoiler here. One thing about murder thriller movies are we shouldn’t be able to guess who’s the killer or what their motive until the near end of the movie.

Well, I also guessed wrong until the second half of the film, not because this movie was so twisted, but because I didn’t expect the killers were the ones that most suspiciously.

One thing that made me guessed wrong, this movie also cheated! The murderer couples talked to each other like someone else were the killers. And in the end, there was no explanation about their behavior.

Okay, but beside the hole in the plot, for a low budget movie this one quite entertaining. The thrill was well built until the disappointment at the end. And the scenery of Kauai, awesome! Not to mention how beautiful Milla Jovovich and Kilie Sanches are

My Rating: C+
