Description
David Twohy (PITCH BLACK) directs this thriller that turns a married couple's first vacation together into a nightmare. While enjoying their honeymoon in Hawaii, a new husband and wife decide to go for a hike. But the area has been beset by murders of vacationers, and the newlyweds' meeting with a strange pair may mean they could be the next victims. A PERFECT GETAWAY stars Timothy Olyphant (LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD).

3 stars out of 4 — "David Twohy, the director, allows creepiness to steal into the film slowly, but soon the jungle shadows seem filled with menace."Hollywood Reporter:

"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..."A.V. Club:

"Even if you know what's coming, it's a neat bit of meta-thriller filmmaking, as much about the mechanics of storytelling as a reasonably satisfying example of it."Variety:
08/05/2009
"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."Los Angeles Times:
08/07/2009
"To Twohy's credit, he does a decent job of keeping you guessing — and interested..."USA Today:
08/07/2009
"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..."New York Times:
08/06/2009
"A B-movie-style throwback that's consistently diverting and blissfully free of morals and messages....It's a genuinely satisfying cheap thrill."Box Office:

3 stars out of 5 — "[A] high-grade b-thriller....It's sturdy genre fair..."Washington Post:
08/07/2009
"[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."Entertainment Weekly:
08/14/2009
"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."
