Two pairs of lovers (Zahn & Jovovich, Olyphant & Sanchez) on a Hawaiian vacation discover that psychopaths are stalking and murdering tourists on the islands.
'A Perfect Getaway' is really nothing more than a Holiday brochure wrapped up and sold to the cinema ticket buyers as a Hollywood thriller.
The beautiful scenery, the wonderful locations, the beautiful people, all adds up to pretty much a visual feast but nothing else. When you have a scene of the female lead, telling a story of the first time she slept with the local town bad boy, in which the story leads to the death of the town dog, and you can't keep a straight face you know you are in trouble.
The acting is over the top and all over the place, also forgettable, only Timothy Olyphant holds an interest.
Forget the twist it doesn’t work, and what you left with is a glossy 'Thomas Cook' promo, with murder and sun.
