Sep 5, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Audiences were treated to a perfect weekend with the thriller ‘A Perfect Getaway’ on Saturday night on HBO. The film was aired at 8pm and again at 11:45pm. The film stars the stunning Milla Jovovich and is directed by David Twohy. The film tells the story of a pair of couples who are stuck on in island where tourists are being slaughtered. The film, however, takes a whole new approach to the slasher movie genre, though there are some typical suspense and brutal sequences.

In the first half, the film relies mainly on the build up to the murders and also on the interaction between the characters who have come on the Hawaiian vacation. Milla Jovovich plays the wife of Steve Zahn in ‘The Perfect Getaway’. The couple first meets up with another couple who are on vacation in the same area played by Chris Hemsworth and Marley Shelton. After realizing that the couple might not really be their type, they move on to another part of the island where they come across the couple named Nick and Gina. Later we find that the other couple played by Chris Hemsworth and Marley Shelton also join the four of them in the same part of the island.

As the interaction between the couples increase, so do the clashes. One thing leads to another and at the end it is seen that one of the couples are the killers that the police are on the lookout for. Finally there is a dramatic twist that leaves the audience awe-struck. David Twohy has followed his success of ‘Pitch Black’ and ‘The Chronicles of Riddick’ with a movie that might not have been a huge box office success but is surely a great one to catch on a lazy weekend.
