(1 - 29) of 29 OFCS Rating: 55% Rotten Page   1   2/4 "...this film contains few moments of true tension and an abundance of flat-out putzing around."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   A. J. Hakari "If you enjoyed Timothy Olyphant as the determined sheriff in HBO's 'Deadwood,' you'll be surprised at how good he is playing a very different type of role here."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker 1/5 "a failure, and a highly flawed one at that."   Filmcritic.com   Bill Gibron 4/10 "Prides itself on a clever twist and a few great red herrings. You know how I know? Because it actually tells us. Literally. As in, in the dialogue."   CampBlood.org   Brian Juergens D "A cringingly self-aware, painfully verbose, and somewhat smug motion picture, Getaway is itching to keep audiences guessing, but it's far more successful at putting viewers to sleep."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf C "It's a childish kind of filmmaking that Alfred Hitchcock would call irresponsible."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey 6/10 "The home video sets up A Perfect Getaway's frank understanding of itself as formula."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 4/5 "It works because it's smart, knows it's smart, announces to us that it's smart - then backs off and lets the suspense and dark comedy mix."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius 3/4 "...one of the most entertainingly trashy thrillers to hit multiplexes in quite some time..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 1.5/4 "For the promise it held at the onset and the foolishly inane places it opts to travel to, this is a particularly arrogant letdown, a thriller with a rancid bite."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman B "A shrewd thriller that's both smarter and funnier than you'd expect."   Film.com   Eric D. Snider "A cunning, sideways-sneaking genre piece with both the fancy to surprise audiences and the adroit filmmaking to do so"   CinePassion   Fernando F. Croce C- "Will genre fans take this totally artificial, over-the-top serial-killer movie as a straight thriller, or understand it as the parody one hopes it's intended to be?"   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "The first throwback to that Kevin Williamson era of winking genre pieces too smart for their own structural strictures..."   The L Magazine   Henry Stewart 2.5/4 "This could have been a triumph of structure over story if only the importance of the structure had been better camouflaged."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/5 "Paradise-set thriller is stylish, slick, and very violent."   Common Sense Media   James Rocchi 2.5/4 "Unashamed of flaunting its B-movie conventions"   Slant Magazine   Jeremiah Kipp "Parental Content Review"   Screen It!   Jim Judy 2.5/4 "A Hawaiian honeymoon turns sinister in this effective but absurd thriller from writer-director David Twohy."   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito "What looks like a 'Survivor' rip-off is actually an ideal summer flick boasting beautiful scenery, hard bodies and shrewdly deranged minds."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   John P. McCarthy C "...a total cheat."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3/4 "Twohy constantly dares us to guess, only to throw the scent elsewhere, get us accustomed to our new idea, and then throw it back right where it started."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik "Smug? Damn, this is a self-satisfied, arrogant excuse for a film, in which the red-herringness is piled on with outrageous aplomb till there can be no doubt that Twohy is daring you to guess what's up and hoping you're not up to it, or not caring if you a"   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 5/5 "A 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"   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 3/5 "Scruffy and twisty, this honeymoon-from-hell thriller kind of unravels as it goes along. But before it succumbs to the formula, the actors manage to catch our attention, so we have to see it through to what'll surely be an outrageous finale."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 3/5 "Twohy is enough of a veteran to keep things moving along with a minimal degree of muss, fuss or narrative stupidity."   FEARnet   Scott Weinberg "... terrific piece of filmmaking, so well-tuned that you never see machinery at work until the gears all click into place."   Seanax.com   Sean Axmaker 2/4 "Can't get away from the psycho-stalker formula, so predictability trumps creativity in the end."   Charlotte Weekly   Sean O'Connell 4/10 "After a promising premise, it soon disintegrates into a preposterous predator/prey tale filled with brutality, bloodshed and butchery."   SSG Syndicate   Susan Granger  (1 - 29) of 29 OFCS Rating: 55% Rotten Page   1
