A Perfect Getaway (2009) - A Perfectly Good Movie

Hello readers,

I have Watched far to many films this year and has ran out of new films to watch so i did something i like to call a Trail search on IMDB and came up with A perfect getaway! what a delight i came across although to the most engaging of films it was exciting enough to keep my mind focused and provide some escapism so thanks , i didn't watch the trailer just watched it , please don't watch the trailer it spoils the film. 

(by the way a trail search is where whatever you watching on Television , go on IMDB pick on the actor from that show or film and search what films he's done and watch it , or if you have seen them all the last film you search pick another actor from that and so on and so forth you find a new film its really cool , my starting point was justified searched Tim Olyphant and came across this pretty easily)

Newlyweds Cliff (Steve Zahn) and Cydney (Milla Jovovich) are honeymooning in Hawaii when they decide to hike a popular trail through the lush Hawaiian wilderness. Soon after, they encounter another couple on the trail, Nick (Timothy Olyphant) and his girlfriend, Gina (Kiele Sanchez). The four continue on the trail as a group, but it isn't long before Cliff and Cydney begin to suspect their new acquaintances of being Murderers. Its better than i make it sound trust me.

Now this film did fair enough at the box office recouping its money and making some small profit abroad but ll in all not a lot of love from critics and public alike? why? its got big name actors in CHECK , great storyline CHECK , Nudity CHECK and violence CHECK. So why did it not do better i think its a mixture of bad marketing (the trailers completely spoils the film) and everyone who loves Resident Evil hating Milla Jovovich  , she's ruined it lol well that's my personal grievance anyway.

The Movie even had a great Director in David Twohy (Pitch Black) and great co-leading Men Steve Zahn playing against type as a Straight actor not telling jokes or anything just being a bit withdrawn and nervous and Tim Olyphant playing the fun loving tourist pretty much against type as he usually plays the tough as nails surly type but he has great comedic timing y the Paul W.S Anderson ! He should have been Chris Redfield and Jensen Ackles as Leon not the bullshit actors you have employed. 

The Female leads are pretty much standard and easy to play so no point in going over the performances with a fine tooth comb they were average , we do got see a pre-Thor Chris Hemsworth and he doesn't have play a great mean/psychotic type would love to see him as a bad guy soon. 

the Story plods along fine enough buts its a character and location driven movie and the cinematography is sublime and breath taking with a fantastic ending. 

So all in all this does have Barlington's seal of Recommendation 

8/10
