I don’t know if I’m just in a summer movie kind of mood but I kind of think that A Perfect Getaway looks great.  I should probably admit that the first time I watched the trailer I was also playing “You Keep Me Hanging On” by The Funk Brothers on my computer and I got a very strange initial impression. But after I turned off the music and watched again I couldn’t help but get into the mystery and into the characters.

I adore Timothy Olyphant, esp when he is allowed to be crazy and I can’t help but think that Steve Zahn’s character will end up becoming a little Straw Dogs-esque by the end of it all. 

Admittedly this could be really bad and not suspenseful at all.  Hopefully though it relies on the actors talents and on the beauty of the location (not on cheap tricks and blood etc..). I am all about creepy character films that take place on remote locations but I am definitely not all about films treating me like I am an idiot.

We shall see.
