Hitting the silver screen back in 2009, A Perfect Getaway has quite the impressive cast - with Milla Jovovich, Timothy Olyphant, Kiele Sanchez, Marley Shelton, Steve Zahn and a certain Chris Hemsworth amongst the ranks in David Twohy's film.

Set in Hawaii, this movie revolves around three vacationing couples, with the hunt on to find out which of these couples is responsible for having killed off two other tourists. Red herrings aplenty are on offer here, with each duo continuing to finger the other couples as being behind these murders.

What A Perfect Getaway does best, is how it leads you up the garden path of uncertainty, forever planting seeds of doubt as to who the real antagonists of the picture are. It's in these moments that the film really shines, and the teases and fake-outs seen throughout the movie add an extra layer of replayability to what many had thought would just be a generic 'holidaymakers get killed' effort.

As for the finale, A Perfect Getaway has a fun, it not mildly silly twist at play - yet that's very much in keeping with the spirit of the film.
