Milla Jovovich as Cydney in “A Perfect Getaway”

4 Stars

Rating:14A
Stars: Steve Zahn, Timothy Olyphant, Milla Jovovich, Kiele Sanchez, Marley Shelton

One island, six strangers and two killers... not the honeymoon they imagined.

What’s the story?
Cliff (Zahn) and Cydney (Jovovich) are a newlywed couple going backpacking to a beautiful but remote beach in Hawaii. As they get further and further into the mountains, they come across a group of terrified hikers who tell them of a horrifying murder that happened on another island nearby to a newlywed couple. They decide to continue on with their trip and soon join up with another couple, Nick (Olyphant) and Gina (Sanchez), and that’s when things begin to go very wrong. Far from civilization and the possibility of being rescued, the battle for survival begins.

Why see it?
Director David Twohy captures your attention with gripping scenes set in beautiful Hawaiian locations right before he reveals out-of-the-blue twists that nobody expects. You can expect non-stop action all the way through the movie – scenes that will make you laugh, squirm, scream and jump – expect to have strong reactions to this movie. You won’t be sleeping through any scenes.

Problems?
This movie has a lot of swears and a few gory/violent moments; so I definitely would not recommend this movie to younger viewers!

All in all:
Get away to see this thrilling action-adventure!
