What the Critics say | ||
Cape Argus / The Star Theresa Smith B-grade slasher flick, with a twist | 10 | |
Die Burger Jeanne Calitz | 5 | |
Cape Times Kirk Honeycutt Well... the scenery was good | 10 | |
Box Office Sara Schieron David Twohy’s programmatic vacation thriller A Perfect Getaway is silly and fun and while it has its annoyingly meta moments it certainly won’t leave you bored. | 10 | |
Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert The plot will require some discussion after the film is over. Is it misleading? Yes. Does it cheat? I think not. It only seems to cheat. That’s part of the effect. All’s fair in love and war, and the plots of thrillers. | 15 | |
eye Weekly Adam Nyman Lean, shapely and unafraid to follow through when the time comes, this is terrifically assured filmmaking from start to finish. And, I might add: what a finish. | 15 | |
ScreenIt C. Fuchs A Perfect Getaway rates as a 5 out of 10 as a viewed-in-the-theater experience, but could drop a point or so once it arrives on home video without the accompanying and appreciative viewing audience. | 10 | |

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer While smarter than the average slasher film, A Perfect Getaway eventually devolves into a standard, predictable, excessively violent thriller. | 12 | |
