Preview: A Perfect Getaway (2009)

Synopsis:

A couple seeking a magical romantic vacation meets up with two other couples who turn on each other as the police begin searching for a man and a woman who are suspected of murder.

• Poster: B

Review:

Surprisingly effective despite employing some of the most ridiculously overused concepts yet. The color scheme helps keep it from being more than a mediocre mess and with this type of film, it almost fits the psychological turmoil between the three couples depicted.

• Trailer: C-

Review:

A slight twist on the horror genre, this film seems like a cross between Identity and Turistas, but still quite a bit different. I don't think it looks terribly great as it seems far too gimmicky to be worth much (I'm surprised that, with all the things flying through the air, this film isn't in 3-D).

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:
