IMDB provides the plot:
"For their honeymoon, newlyweds Cliff and Cydney head to the tropical islands of Hawaii. While journeying through the paradisaical countryside the couple encounters Kale and Cleo, two disgruntled hitchhikers and Nick and Gina, two wild but well-meaning spirits who help guide them through the lush jungles. The picturesque waterfalls and scenic mountainsides quickly give way to terror when Cliff and Cydney learn of a grisly murder that occurred nearby and realize that they're being followed by chance acquaintances that suspiciously fit the description of the killers."
As the movie wares on, everyones performances change accordingly. Jovovich, especially, puts in an incredible performance as her acting, speech patterns and mannerisms are all different from what we've seen in her past roles. You would never think that it was her who starred in Resident Evil and Ultraviolet.
A Perfect Getaway is a surprisingly decent movie with an above average twist. Smarter fans may figure it out immediately, but the fun is how the twist is implemented and how the rest of the movie is done after the reveal. The movie drags on a bit towards the end, but the performances keep it afloat.
The trailer didn't sell the movie too well so I skipped it and later picked it up on a friend's recommendation. Turns out it is a solid flick overall and worth watching.
Violence? Shit man. People get shot, People get stabbed, and there's one scene with a knife that is cringe inducing.
Explosions? Nope.
Nudity? From the side view or implied. The Director missed an opportunity. True, its not necessary for this flick, but nudity juxtaposed with the beautiful Hawaiian backdrop, would have made the movie more enjoyable.
