Runtime: 98 minutes
MPAA Rating: R

Plot:  Newlyweds Cliff (Zahn) and Cydney (Jovovich) are on their honeymoon in Hawaii.  There have been some murders in Honolulu and the killers are on the loose.  On their travels, they meet two couples, Nick (Olyphant) and Gina (Sanchez), and Kale (Chris Hemsworth) and Cleo (Marley Shelton).  They suspect that one of the couples are the killers, but don't know which ones. 


Review:  I thought this movie was very well made.  The scenery was beautiful.  The action scenes were very well shot.  The movie was highly entertaining.  The movie was one of those that doesn't take itself too seriously.  There is a huge twist in this movie.  When I watched it in the theater I didn't see it coming.  I don't know why I didn't see it coming as all the clues are there.  I won't spoil it any further though.  I suspect this is a movie that either you will love or hate.  There is no inbetween.  I happened to love it.  I thought each actor played their part well, especially Jovovich and Olyphant.  Jovovich is used to starring in action-type movies, and as usual does well in the action scenes here.  Olyphant is the big scene stealer in this movie if you ask me.  He is quickly becoming a household name in Hollywood and is getting bigger roles thrown his way finally. 


Rating: 9/10, highly recommend watching
