  STEER CLEAR, the other reviewers clearly had a LOT of time on their bloody hands.
  
  Watching this was like watching a couple of couples on holiday in Benidorm, arguing over who used up all the sun-cream.

  Time well spent
  
  Worth watching just for the beautiful cinematography in Hawaii alone. The plot, the cast and the gore are just a lovely bonus.

  Efficiently predictable Thriller
  
  Having just seen this film, I personally think it is overrated. Director David Twohy and the cast are all on top form. The film looks good with an unknown ... read more »

  It was alright.
  
  Certainly worth watching although I'd figured out the plot twists rather early on. Not these actors best work but still worth a watch.

  Beautiful Setting, Good Acting, Decent Story!
  
  I must admit I enjoyed this film more than I expected too, although I would classify it as more of a thriller than a horror.

  Perfect get away
  
  Very bad story line!. Peter Jackson's 'Bad Taste The Movie' beats this one, not recommended

- [T]he sense of impending doom is palpable. As thrillers go, the film is more nerve-wracking than most, and far better acted--the four principals are terrific, particularly Jovovich, who gives a really nuanced performance

  - 21 Oct 2009 at 01:04
- A big-reveal thriller with surprises that really do surprise--and are well worth waiting for... A PERFECT GETAWAY finds writer-director David Twohy in popcorn form with a muscularity not seen since 2000's PITCH BLACK
- 69591
- - Variety
  - 21 Oct 2009 at 01:04
- The actors give themselves over to this elaborate game of Clue... Olyphant and Shelton seem to have fun with their roles, and it shows in solid performances

  - 21 Oct 2009 at 01:04
- Steve Zahn makes full use of the many varieties of hyper in his acting arsenal, while Timothy Olyphant has a heckuva good time telegraphing macho mania

- In A PERFECT GETAWAY, the path of true love takes a twisted turn when faced with the threat of psychopathic killers on the loose... Lively and slick

- A B-movie-style throwback that's consistently diverting and blissfully free of morals and messages... It's a genuinely satisfying cheap thrill
