I didn't like the twist so much, but the actors really delivered a strong ending, which made me like the characters more. |
There you are on a dream vacation with the world's highest paid super-model. No, you're not Tom Brady. You're Steve Zahn, apparently. Of course, this scenario is not as perfect as it may appear on the surface. There are a couple of people trying to kill you. Presumably, it's because you're Steve Zahn. They're right to want you dead. The good news is that you have Milla Jovovich on your side, and if you have seen Resident Evil, you have to feel good about that. Of course, if you saw Ultraviolet, you can't possibly feel good about that.
A Perfect Getaway is directed by David Twohy, best known as the writer of films such as The Fugitive, Waterworld and Below as well as the director of the Pitch Black films. While this pedigree sounds nice on the surface, the reality is that this was a troubled production that has already been shelved indefinitely once. Jovovich occasionally has strong box office results, but this project does not appear to be such a film, which is a shame given the potential blockbuster combo of Twohy and her. (David Mumpower/BOP)
