A Perfect Getaway

Handsome Bob

I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this film. I pride myself on being able to spot twists from the early going, but this film had me totally perplexed. However I do feel slightly cheated as the dialogue between

Cliff and Cydney really does suggest that they couldn't possibly be the murderers, especially when they are talking when (a) they are pretending to have a piss and (b) when they are talking in their tent after Gina guts the goat.

However in spite of that I really enjoyed the film. Timothy Olyphant and Kiele Sanchez were excellent in their respective roles as Nick and Gina. Sanchez has definitely redeemed herself after her role as Nikki in Lost. :pac:

I have to disagree there. Normally i'm completely brain dead when it comes to plot twists. I deliberately turn brain off so that I can be entertained, unlike some people I know who do their best to figure it out. Dunno how they can enjoy any film that way, I mean it's fine if you're watching Jessica Fletcher or Poirot or something where you're supposed to try and guess who dunnit.

I saw A Perfect Getaway's "plot twist" a mile away. It didn't take away from the film, it was just a case of "Finally now we get down to business!"

How so? I have to say that reading all the reviews for the film, I do feel a little stupid as everyone seems to have seen the twist coming from a mile away. I must be missing something as, in the two scenes I mentioned,

Cydney and Cliff talk to each other as if they have a genuine fear that they are in the presence of the murderers.

I'll have to watch it again to observe their conversations more closely.

On a side note, I went to see this film in part to see Hemsworth's acting chops, I'm disappointed that "Thor" had very little to do.

Haha ive been having this discussion with people about the two conversations where they

talking in fear in both the tent and when shes taking a piss.However one lad pointed out it was more they were afraid that the picture online of HIM was going to blow their cover.This made sense as at first i thought it was more a conversation to the audience as, if they were the killers why would they act all innocent when alone.Oh and also the fear that other guy was in the Army
