Review Detail

  A Perfect Getaway was a thriller that I thought I would really enjoy, as I love this genre of movie, however I found it to be too  contrived, a thriller with an attempt to be funny and a little too gory and felt that this was a mindless film.  The story takes place in paradise, in Hawaii, in Kauai, where newlyweds are honeymooning.   Cliff, played by Steve Zahn, and his new wife Cydney, played by Milla Jovovich,   are planning to take a hike down to a remote beach.  On the way they hear ominous news about another honeymoon couple who were just murdered in Honolulu.  Shortly after, they join up with another hiking couple, Nick, played by Timothy Olyphant, and Gina, played by Kiele Sanchez, as well as Kale, played by Chris Hemsworth, and Cleo, played by Marley Shelton.  Soon, the couples realize that they are strangers to each other, that they know nothing about each other and that the killers were a man and a women.  Could one of the couples be the killers?  There are twists and turns, suspicions and unexpected surprises, but the killers are caught and the newly engaged couple makes the wise decision to choose a different honeymoon destination, when the time comes..  

This movie is not terrible but just not my preference in films.
