Cliff (Steve Zahn) and Cydney (Mila Jovovich) are newlyweds who are in Hawaii for their honeymoon. However the exotic backpacking/trekking vacation gets a little complicated when they learn that there is a couple who have been murdering people on the island. They have met two couples so far: Kale and Cleo – a hitchhiking couple they might have annoyed: the guy seems to be holding a grudge against them and Nick (Timothy Olyphant) & Gina (Kiele Sanchez)- who have actually joined their vacation plans. They seem fun and friendly, yet their eccentricities might be bordering on dangerous.
Now we as the audience know that there’s a murderous couple. We start to play a who- are- the-killers game. It is fun and it is not meant to be disturbing or scary. It is an intriguing movie with amazing scenery. It is more of an adventure than a thriller with interesting characters. I especially enjoyed Kiele Sanchez’s and Chris Hemsworth‘s performances- though Chris doesn’t have that much screen time, he is good at arousing suspicion. He is a talented Australian who I hope we will see more in the future.
The movie is by no means perfect and it doesn’t have the potential to be a cult movie. I don’t mean to give spoilers but you might feel some dialogs could have been better structured. But…forget about what you might call plot holes and just enjoy.
