A Perfect Getaway (2009)

Nice effects though.

Great Film overall

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

This film wants to be a more modern version of A Most Dangerous Game and it falls short. If you like A Perfect Getaway then do yourself a favor and watch A Most Dangerous Game (1932)... it's much better than this film.

I must say that in my 37 years, I haven't seen anything worse and more naive than this movie. Th4e story is unbelievably naive and it doesn't follow up through out the movie. Usually surprises are OK for thriller movies, but this one doesn't make any sense. It is still unbelievable that the movie was rated quite high, with 6,5 this wouldn't be even close to the rating that it deserves. The only thing that is worth seeing is a beautiful Hawaii landscape. The actors did not really give their best, it was more like a third class acting and I hope that people that were responsible for this movie are not in a movie making business any more.

This movie definitely works. It's paced well and keeps you guessing. When the twist comes, I was genuinely surprised. It's a pretty simple movie that works because of a well thought out story and a solid script. With those things in order, a movie always has a good chance of working.The other elements of the movie were pretty solid over all but nothing special. I wasn't impressed with the cinematography. It's okay, but could have been better and much more creative and artistic, especially in such a scenic location.The acting was okay, and the cast mostly worked, but I could see other actors bringing another dimension to the roles.My main complain, and this is mostly a directorial thing, but also editing and cinematography, was after the big reveal, it cut to flashbacks that explain the story, which went on way too long in my opinion. It gets the job done, but I could see it done in a cooler way.Overall, it's a movie that works, but with a more creative director, it could have been really great. Instead, the director got the job done effectively, but didn't really stylize it in a notable way.Definitely a movie worth watching. You probably don't need to own it or watch it over and over, but the first viewing will make for good solid entertainment.

OK. To the point : Pros: 1. Great actors, solid acting. 2. Daylight suspense in beautiful backdrop of Hawaii, without cheap loud noise shocker scenes (the were a few borderline, but most suspense was born by sold acting). Cons: 1. Just one. And it's serious. A great thriller (like Sixth Sense) keeps you perplexed until the shocking revelation, and then you are in awe at your own profound oblivious ability to miss all the cues provided you throughout the entire movie. Not so, here. If you re-watch the movie with the ending known, indeed the dialogue is "possible." But the selection of words is clearly done so as to mislead viewers, in a manner that seems artificially contrived for the sole purpose of having an "aha!" ending. The viewer is never an Omnipresent witness, but is deliberately shown only those events that would naturally mislead them. So instead of an "AHA!" ending, as many expected, they get a "WTH!" ending - which is unfortunate. The writer seems to totally misidentify the payoff for which viewers come to see a thriller movie; It's not in the twist ending that comes from nowhere, but in the revelation that the ending was right in front of you throughout the entire movie, and you missed it's cues.
