Directed by: David TwohyRunning Time: 1h 37min
A Perfect Getaway is one of those genre films that you really can't find too much fault in. Its small premise and beautiful locale make for your typical paradise thriller. All the formula is there: beautiful newlywed couples, one couple appears a little dangerous, there's a killer on the loose, isolated location, intermittent cell phone service. You know the drill. Still, there's something fun about watching these types of films, and Zahn and Olyphant both have that campy quality that works for shits and giggles. There's not a lot of doubt with foreshadowing that is basically foretelling, but it's fun to go along for the ride. Twohy is an able handed director, having made low budget, low concept, high tension thrillers before (Pitch Black) with just the right amount of humour. This one's no exception.
Grade: C
