Leave your thoughts about A Perfect Getaway.
| eFilmCritic.comPeter SobczynskiA hugely entertaining pulp thriller that delivers the goods in a stylish an effective manner that beats most other recent films of its ilk like a gong |
| Tri-City HeraldGary WolcottThe film is gratefully short but writer/director David Twohy still takes too much time working through the standard suspect check list before getting to a terrific twist. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonA Perfect Getaway starts with confidence and rarely steps wrong; it knows exactly where to go and what to do. |
| iF MagazineAbbie BernsteinTimothy Olyphant, Milla Jovovich, Kiele Sanchez and Steve Zahn topline a playful take on the psycho killer couple thriller |
| The New York TimesManohla DargisA B-movie-style throwback that’s consistently diverting and blissfully free of morals and messages, A Perfect Getaway is just the thing for the summertime movie blahs: it’s a genuinely satisfying cheap thrill. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe plot will require some discussion after the film is over. Is it misleading? Yes. Does it cheat? I think not. It only seems to cheat. That’s part of the effect. All’s fair in love and war, and the plots of thrillers. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Stephen ColeBenefits from one standout performance: Timothy Olyphant ( Deadwood ) plays the part of Nick with ingratiating comic relish. |
| Portland OregonianM. E. RussellIf you're willing to have your patience tested, Twohy and his cast reward it. |
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter HartlaubA clever, heart-pounding thriller, and a welcome return to form for the director. |
| Georgia StraightSteve NewtonA riveting horror-thriller that should do for hiking in Hawaii what Hostel did for backpacking in Slovakia. |
