Review of film:  “A PERFECT GETAWAY” – When you’re honeymooning, best to Avoid the “RED SNAPPERS”  =

                               Rating:  8 of 10 stars (based upon an advance screening).

 

Hawaii’s a great place to honeymoon— if you’re around the “RIGHT people”. As the film begins, Screenwriter Cliff (STEVE ZAHN) is in the islands with his girl Cydney (MILLIE JOVAVICH)…

…  But, it seems the newspaper has reported the murders of a honeymooning couple by some mysterious guy & gal, making people very “wary” of OTHER people around them. Thus, when they’re hiking & meet couple Kale (tattooed & hostile CHRIS HEMSWORTH) & his flaky gal Cleo (MARLEY SHELTON), people are all very “ill-at-ease”...

…  That’s the same case & “amplified” when ex-vet Nick (TIMOTHY OLYPHANT) & his woman Gina (KIELE SANCHEZ) suddenly pop-up. So, as people travel around the island, tension builds more & more between various individuals because of the “RED SNAPPERS” that are raised by the writer (which is a phrase used in the film)…

…  Actually, the movie is well constructed & fascinating, with good performances by all involved (particularly Zahn who usually tends to do comic rather than serious roles like this one). It’s not “perfect”, but you should Get Away & SEE it if you like mystery – thrillers.
