The TrailerThe ReviewA Perfect Getaway is a thriller, and I was glad that the director didn’t go along the line of an over-the-top slasher flick. It’s an entertaining low budget film with big stars. Although not a classic, it manages to generate a certain interest in its story and characters. The movie starts with a newly wed couple (Steve Zahn and Mila Jovovich) who encounters two other couples who they suspect are killers. Although the twist and turns were believable, there wasn’t really any shock factor for me. If you’re focusing on the film close enough early on in the film, the outcome was given away clearly. Overall the case is great, and if not for the plot, the movie is worth watching for its beautiful island and cinematography. The Good
