The Perfect Getaway – 4.5

This is a one-trick movie, and once you see that it is a dirty trick being played on the viewer, the modest respect I had for the Hawaiian scenery and Steve Zahn’s character flew out the window. There are “red snappers” – I mean, herrings – galore, but the switcheroo is not of that ilk. Nothing that occurs, or is said, in the first two-thirds of the movie makes any sense or has any integrity once the final third comes around. And that final third, on its own terms, is pretty absurd, too. Where was the “screenplay-writer”?
