 Reviewer: The HD Room | Overall    | Movie | HD Video | HD Audio |
Date Reviewed: 5 March 2010 | I am not delusional that A Perfect Getaway is an excellent thriller, but its competent enough that the glaring flaws are outweighed by the engaging acting and great scenery. Plus the story has that slightly cheesy "B movie" quality that adds an inherent level of rewatchability. Universal delivers a BD with a high-def transfer that I can only imagine is true to the director's intent, but for my tastes somewhat robs the tropical backdrops of their natural beauty. The lossless audio does its job but nothing more, and the extras are barely worth calling such. Getaway may not be on the top of your HD purchase list but makes for a recommended rental when you want to turn your mind off and enjoy some entertaining tension/action. (Read Full Review)

Date Reviewed: 30 December 2009 | If you’ve figured out who the killers are in Perfect Getaway early, and it’s not that difficult since there are only six real characters in the movie, you’re left with figuring out how writer/director David Twohy is going to explain it logically. He doesn’t. (Read Full Review)

 Reviewer: High-Def Digest | Overall | Movie | HD Video | HD Audio |
Date Reviewed: 29 December 2009 | I had a great time with 'A Perfect Getaway' when I saw it in the theaters, and was hoping that the Blu-ray release would lend this nifty little genre film some credit. Unfortunately, weak audio and virtually nonexistent extras aren't going to help to turn anybody on to this tropical whodunit. The director's cut is more of a curiosity for fans than a go-to version (as much as I appreciated it), and I'm giving this a recomended stamp for the movie itself rather than this disc's disappointing package. It is far from perfect. (Read Full Review)

Date Reviewed: 29 December 2009 | It may not be anything new, but I found this surprisingly satisfying thriller to be a very enjoyable watch. If you're looking for something to do on Friday night, you could do a whole lot worse than this fun flick. (Read Full Review)

 Reviewer: Blu-ray.com | Overall | Movie | HD Video | HD Audio |
Date Reviewed: 18 December 2009 | It's safe to say A Perfect Getaway won't be gracing any Best-of-2009 lists, but it's a semi-decent thriller that offers some appeal to guilty pleasure enthusiasts. Sadly, Universal's Blu-ray release is as hit-or-miss as the film itself. While its video transfer is faithful to Twohy's intentions, its DTS-HD Master Audio track is a tad underwhelming and its supplemental package consists of a two-minute alternate ending. In the end, A Perfect Getaway is a perfect rental. Love it, loathe it, tolerate it, it's worth three bucks and ninety minutes of your life. (Read Full Review)

 Reviewer: High Def Disc News | Movie | HD Video | HD Audio |
Date Reviewed: 17 December 2009 | “A Perfect Getaway” is the perfect (pun intended) getaway after a long day at the horse race. With performances that capture the tense theme of the film, beautiful locales and a plot that keeps you guessing, “A Perfect Getaway” is well worth a rental for those who love thrillers and are looking for a fun, well-made movie.

 Reviewer: Big Picture Big Sound | Overall | Movie | HD Video | HD Audio |
Date Reviewed: 17 December 2009 | If you've seen The Arrival or Pitch Black, you know that David Twohy is master of elevating would-be ridiculous material. A Perfect Getaway is no different. Though a bit too self-aware for its own good, Getaway will keep you guessing until the end and it manages to be a great popcorn movie worthy of watching with a bunch of friends. Despite a supremely disappointing lack of extras, Universal's Blu-ray does at least give the film a terrific technical presentation. (Read Full Review)

 Reviewer: DVD Talk | Overall | Movie | HD Video | HD Audio |
Date Reviewed: 16 December 2009 | Isn't the point of a thriller to serve up some...y'know, thrills? A Perfect Getaway is a third-act plot twist in search of a movie. Bland, boring characters...right at a full hour and a half before anything actually happens...blah. Skip It. (Read Full Review)
