	Author	Review
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	" (...) Fresh, sparky dialogue (...) A Perfect Getaway" is most satisfying pop entertainment that's clever enough to require no apologies for being sexy, gory, and far-fetched"	POS

United States	Connie Ogle Miami Herald	"For a low-brow, psycho-on-the-loose-in-paradise thriller, 'A Perfect Getaway' is surprisingly entertaining."	POS
United States	Glenn Whipp Los Angeles Times	"To Twohy's credit, he does a decent job of keeping you guessing -- and interested -- until almost the very end."	POS
United States	James Berardinelli ReelViews	"Just a run-of-the-mill slasher/thriller"	NEU
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"A B-movie-style throwback that’s consistently diverting and blissfully free of morals and messages"	POS
United States	Peter Hartlaub SFGATE	"A clever, heart-pounding thriller"	POS
