Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDirector David Twohy has been quoted in recent interviews as saying he had to battle with the studio to allow the movie to continue on with an R-rating instead of a PG-13 version.
- GoofsA previous Plot Hole mentions that since Cliff threw away the tape from the digital camera into the sea, Gina could not have seen the photos on it. When Gina first looks at the camera, it clearly shows her pushing in the SD card all the way, which revealed the photos on the SD card to her. Cliff even says in an earlier scene that he should read the camera's manual, so it's clear he did not know it also had an SD card in it.
- Alternate versionsThe Director's Cut available on the Blu Ray release contains an additional 10 minutes of footage.
- ConnectionsEdited into A Perfect Getaway: The Shocking Original Scripted Ending (2009)
Featured review
Do NOT buy into the negative comments!
First off, you need to know that I joined IMDb purely to undo the diabolically misleading rating that this movie has gotten. I must say, I was not expecting much from it, but as the credits rolled by, I quickly made the decision that this movie was going up on my facebook list of favorite movies.
Milla Jovovich has never been a spectacular actress in my book. She's great in action flicks (I am a massive fan of the Resident Evil series!), but I've always found that she goes a bit overboard when taking on dramatic or real life roles. I was more than pleasantly surprised when it dawned on me just how good a job she did on this film! Granted, no one needed Oscar worthy acting to pull off their roles; every actor in this film held their own.
From beginning to end, I was totally drawn in - both character and story-wise. Sure, you come across some clichés here and there, but that's totally to be expected. The entire movie is cleverly put together and is sure to keep you guessing every step of the way. The characters are well developed, the acting is great, the scenery and cinematography are outstanding - some very inventive shots towards the climax of the film - and the story will definitely leave you with the feeling that "it" actually hasn't all been done before.
Every person that has rated this movie low falls under one of two categories: Either they missed an integral part of the story (I watched the film twice just to make sure I was right about this), or they have ludicrously high standards.
Movies are by no means my life. I'm sure my rating of 8 is probably a bit biased (for some reason, this movie really did it for me on pretty much all fronts), but any rating below a 7, in my humble opinion, says more about a lack on the reviewer's end... not the film's. This is definitely a must see for anyone into this genre! One for the collection, even!
