A Perfect Getaway

First the pros – 99% of the movie was shot in daylight in the beautiful Hawaiian nature, really relaxing to the eyes. Good cast, good acting overall. Interesting story, which actually pulled my attention and made me watch the movie. The promised twist was there and was a big one, but more about it in cons… Cons – Well, the promised “twist” was a huge and unexpected one. So unexpected it was really difficult to believe. It made me wondering like “Wow, wait a minute! Weren’t they doing this and this a few minutes ago? Didn’t they tell this and this? Ehmmm…. they actually did, so what the…?” The script wasn’t really finished (well) IMHO, it made me feel like the story was born during writing the script, but after finishing it there was no time/will to rework the beginning and synchronize it with the end. This made the lead characters really inconsistent and left me quiet unsatisfied after the movie ended, even if I have to say the final action sequence was good enough.
