Unexpectedly Great
Stunning setting, great acting and although by the time the police found the teeth I knew where the story was going it left me saying wow at the end.

TRUST THE STAR RATINGS !!!
Try and avoid some of the other reviews because they will spoil your enjoyment of a really clever, inventive movie. You will get SO much more from this if you just trust the star ratings and rent it without watching the trailer or reading anything about it!

99p rental
Well worth the rent. It's slow pretty much till about at least half way but the ended is great. I would have never of guessed who it was :P
Thanks

Just awful!
Truly awful - you see the plot turn a mile away, direction is leaden and about as thrilling as a day-old teabag..
2012-08-12

I love this movie I watch it all the time.
The great thing is you can watch it in 3 views of who the kills are.
However, after watching it you will find out!!!
Great acting throughout!

The Perfect Getaway
Enjoyed this very much, so many twists and turns, and intakes of breath!
2011-07-04
Waste of money!
Some nice scenery but what a load of rubbish.

Public health warning: iTunes reviews can be seriously misleading
This is a very underwhelming film. Storyline attempts a twist, but it is clumsy and flawed. Some decent acting from Oliphant and Jovovich fail to counter a disregard for script, story and character development. Bottom line: Always get a second opinion from IMDB or other more impartial site - another few pounds and a couple of hours wasted. Humbug.

Nothing special
American girls doing ohmygods in a jungle, unkillable heroes, leg-catching foes and an unbelievable twist in characters. Shallow.
Nice sceneries though.
Those who saw: what's the scene in the tent when the killers cry and whisper pretending terrible fear when nobody sees them? Why would they do that? That was a weak one.
And that explanatory intermezzo put there so even my dog could understand who are the bad bad guys...

A Perfect Getaway
I really enjoyed this movie. Like the other comments say, it seems a little slow to start, but towards the end you realise the reason for the character building bit. It kept me guessing until the end, which a good thriller should do!
2011-01-21
Great movie.. a most watch.
In the begining i though is was weak but story line will grip you. great script.. loved it.
2011-01-21
A Perfect Nothing
Just watched this and how it gets a 4 star average is beyond me. The twist is far far too long in coming in IS NOT credible. If you're used to watching average tv movies then I suppose it's just passable but otherwise don't bother. 99p was a rip-off!
2011-01-15
A Perfect Getaway
This started out promisingly, but very quickly began to disappoint. The worst part is the fact that the film makers added scenes that wouldn't have actually happened, deliberately misleading the audience. That really made me angry. It was a waste of an evening.
2011-01-02
not bad for a quid
not a classic
but worth a watch
2011-01-02
Not happy
I can't believe how long it is taking to download. I don't even know how long the rental is , I have not even watch the film yet and I'm not happy.
2011-01-01
A perfect Gateway
This film was awful absolutely rubbish - Don't ven bother! Took so long to get going and so predictable.
2011-01-01
Good value for 99p
It had a good few twists, although most will see them coming. Worth renting for 99p. decent actors. I'd recommend for the price.
2011-01-01
Cheat
The movie is just a cheat really. Most boring disguise worn by antagonists as well as protagonists I've seen in movies. But good thing is at this price it's a good watch
2010-12-27
Good movie
A good entertaining movie with a nice twist.
2010-12-27
Nothing happens!
This has to be the boring, slow moving waste of time ever!
I spent the entire time thinking "it will kick in soon" it did..... Then the credits rolled. Don't waste your money or time on this crap!
2010-12-24
Worth It
Not amazing and if you're an average film buff will have this all worked out fairly early. Well worth 99p and made a boring train journey much more bearable though.
2010-12-23
Great surprise
Surprised how good this was. A really enjoyable film that moves along nicely and has a great story. Well filmed and good acting. Certainly worth renting.
2010-12-23
Hmm
Why does the rental take so long to download
2010-12-22
Awful
this film is a let down and 4 a thriller it isn't even worth 99p nothing happens until virtually the end and takes 2 long 2 get going
2010-12-21
Good
A lot better than I was expecting and well worth 99p rental!!
2010-12-20
Not bad.
Not bad for 99p ,acting could have been better,but overall good show.
2010-12-19
Not bad
Actually we liked it! Quite riveting stuff and very feisty ending. Worth a watch!
2010-12-19
Not what I paid for
Wen I rented this I expected to watch the whole thing yet it froze on the ninth chapter why can't I finish watching the film?
2010-12-18
Too slow
I can see why this is 99p, its very very slow to get going and leaves you feeling just a little let down at the end.
2010-12-18
Great
Awesome film considering it was 99p to rent! Great Friday night film or for any other day you wanna kick back, relax and be surprised!!!
2010-12-18
Thrilling
Bargain for 1.99 worth watching! :0)
2010-12-18
Top thriller
A great thriller that will keep you guessing. 5* from me!
2010-12-18
Decent enough
Decent enough thriller, not difficult to foresee the twists and turns but an entertaining film nonetheless.
2010-12-17
Fantastic Film
I bought this film based on the reviews. I was not disappointed at all. Fantastic Film . The twist !!!!!!
2010-12-15
Wow
This film was so bad its shocking. 99p? Yes its cheap compared to other films on here but that doesn't change the fact that for well known actors the film was still poor.
2010-12-15
Great little movie
Well done and well acted, scenery beautiful and story keeps u guessing, surprising twist
2010-12-14
Epic Win
Very, very well done, well paced and possibly the best plot twist I have ever seen. Possibly. Rented for 99p as well!
2010-12-13
Review are spot on
Well paced, very good, nice twists, awesome locations. Definitely worth renting.
2010-12-11
A lovely Surprise
I was not expecting much for a 99p rental, but the reviews looked promising so I gave it a shot.
So glad I did! This is a brilliant movie. Loved the characters, and the occasional quirky funny bits in there (although this is not a comedy). If it seems a tad slow to start, please persist - totally worth it!
2010-12-10
iTunes Got Robbed! :P
Timothy (From Hitman) Is In The Film,
I Rate This Film As... AWESOME n At 99p!!
2010-12-10
Wow
Really a great film, well directed with a brilliant storyline! Nothing to critisize here except a slightly weird approach to camera angles etc. But all this adds to effect. The story will keep you guessing every step of the way, and at a price of 99p to rent this week? GET IT. Simple :) Considering buying this film now, well worth every penny.
2010-12-10
99p!!!!
for 99p this is a must watch film even if its just to fill some spare time, strange twist, a lil far fetched but agin for 99p no complaints!!!
2010-12-09
Surprisingly good
As the rest of the reviews say, this is a pretty good film and definitely worth watching. I suppose I wasn't expecting much because it was in the 99p section, but i really enjoyed it.
2010-12-08
Actually, really quiet good
This isn't going to win anyone an Oscar, but it's actually a good movie, and at 99p rental, it's a steal.
2010-12-08
Great Film!
Great acting. Great twist, great ending!
2010-12-07
Great film
This movie was right up my street! Love the guessing on which couple it could be, great thriller as gore is not really my thing, give it a go it's good.
2010-11-08
Ho hum
Slow to start, fairly mundane first hour, picks up a bit but also fairly predictabe. Worth a watch but don't expect too much.
2010-08-19
A Perfect Getaway at home
Good to watch with friends or with a date. Keeps the tension building and captures the attention. I would have liked some of the bits at the end edited out for the sake of realism and Milla Jovovich could have been given more camera time given her action experience, talent and beauty...that said, all in all a good film. Happy that I bought it for my growing itunes collection.
2010-08-02
Better than expected. Good paced film
Took a punt on previous reviews and wasn't disappointed. Good all round thriller. Pace excellent too. Only a couple of unnecessary random moments towards the end (you'll know them as soon as you see them). Rent it...
2010-07-31
wow!!
possible one of the best movies of ive seen in a long time thrilling and exiting all the things needed in anamazing film i recomend buying this film because you will deffonetly want to watch this again
2010-05-10
I was surprised
This film got off to a "rocky" start, however about mid way it turns on its head and ends well. I would say that in reflection the slow start is necessary in order for the later part of the film to work, its just a shame it couldnt have been a little more entertaining the first half hour or so. A sleeper hit, watch it.
2010-03-11
A Perfect Getaway
I liked this film, still not 5 starts however well worth the rental. You will guess the outcome before the film tells you, however that will not spoil the plot at all. If anything I would have liked a little more on the back story, just to answer a few more questions. Go with the rental though as it not a film you would watch time and time again.
2010-03-07
Excellent
A really great movie with a great twist in the end! A must see
2010-02-28
Wow
One if the most exciting thrillers I've seen definately worth the money. The twist was amazing and full of constance suspence. Such a lovely place where it was set aswell.

The Perfect Getaway Review
When I first saw the preview of this film, I immediately knew that it was going to be "outstanding". This film is definately worth a buy. Don't hesitate from renting it though. Awesome film.
2010-02-10
Worth watching!
I thought this film was pretty good! Not a bad twist and there's one or two funny bits! I've seen much worse. Definately worth a watch!
2010-02-09
Ho Hum
Starts off well. Good acting. Beautiful scenery. A few nice twists. But I found myself fast forwarding to finish the film once I got the jist of it. Shame. It just lacked drama and tension. I am very surprised by all the good reviews.
2010-02-06
Watch this!
What a twist in the end! Definatley worth renting.
2010-02-05
Took a shot in the dark & it paid off:))
Rented this after just picking one film at random for a train journey I was taking and thought it was great, the setting is fantastic with good acting with some known & unknown actors & actress & the best thing the story line with so many twists and turn it keeps you guessing to the end, had never heard of this film before but will be letting people know about it now:)
2010-02-04
Entertaining Getaway!
I watched the trailer for this and thought it would be a good movie to escape with for the afternoon but was wrong. It in fact is a very good movie regardless of whether you're just wasting time or settling down with the popcorn and the full works.
If I'm honest, I sort of guessed the twist but couldn't fully fit the pieces together and was pleasantly surprised and satisfied with the explanation. Milla Jovovich did a brilliant job in this movie, it was her who I couldn't figure out the most - brilliant for a thriller. Also Timothy Olyphant's character was strong yet you never quite knew whether to be on his side or not.
Definitely a movie to watch! Simple format when it boils down to it but they are the best movies!!!!! WATCH IT!
2010-01-29
Good work
A suprisingly good film, if you enjoy a tense thriller this will do the trick!
2010-01-25
Twisty Turny
Just what you didn't expect. Not gritty but holds your attention for most of the film. Nice to see the busy body kayak dudes get their just desserts!
2010-01-16
A Perfect Getaway
An almost perfect thriller which i recommend for anyone who likes a great horror/thriller film. It is one of the best films i have seen this year and it is still only January. It is cleverly scripted and acted brilliantly. The first part of the film is all character and story telling, which will make you think nothing is going to happen. But as soon as one of the characters picks up the video camera, there is a flashback and the whole film will make sense, and this is where it starts to get really good. The twist in the film is something i never saw coming, and i have seen plenty of great horror/thriller films. It is a brilliant film, the tension and suspense builds throughout. It is definitely going to be one of my contenders for film of the year.
