2. Summary

   Really Great 4.5

   A Perfect Getaway was suprisingly a good film. It didn’t get boring, nor did it get ridiculous. After seeing the trailer, I thought it would be just another cheesy horror flick that everyone would forget about. I definitley wasn’t. The story was very original, the action sequences kept me entertained, and the twist ending was actually pretty smart. Regardless, I felt some of what the characters did made no sense to the twist ending. But don’t worry, the twist actually makes sense. Their depiction of Hawaii was beautiful- CGI or not, and now I have to go there. Something the film did that not many other horror films do, is that they really built the character development- I started caring for the characters. If you’re looking for a good, new horror movie, I recommend A Perfect Getaway.

4. Acting

   Really Great 4.5

   Milla Jovovich and Steve Zahn worked really well together. They made a believeable couple, along with Timothy Olyphant and Kiele Sanchez.

10. Film

    Really Great 4.5

    I loved some of the little editing tricks used in the movie, such as when a black and white flashback where the only color was blood. Also, as I said, Hawaii was amazing, wheather it was CGI or not, and the music selections worked very well where they were put.
