A Perfect Getaway

Having seen this...I now need to see it again. I enjoyed it, I'm just not sure everything adds up. Even if the ending is a bit out of whack, A Perfect Getaway is worth a look. The performances from the four principle actors (Steve Zahn, Timothy Olyphant, Milla Jovovich and Kiele Sanchez are outstanding.

Filmed in Hawaii and Puerto Rico, the scenery is beautiful. I'm certain that the Hawaii Tourism Bureau is not at all pleased with the content of the movie, honeymooners being killed while hiking in Hawaii. Maybe they had to finish up in Puerto Rico once Hawaii found out the movies content:-)

The Hurt Locker

"If I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die comfortable". That about sums it up as US Army Staff Sergeant Will James removes his protective suit, knowing full well that if he trips the car trunk full of explosives, the suit will do him no good. Bravo Company has one of the hardest and deadliest jobs in the world, disarming live munitions, planted by insurgents with the sole intention of doing harm to Americans. The work takes place in active zones where anyone on a roof or in a window could be a sniper with a rifle.

Jeremy Renner is perfect as Will James.

Kathryn Bigelow adds another impressive film to her resume (Near Dark, Point Break, The Weight Of Water)

Supporting cast Anthony Mackie, Brian Geraghty and Christian Camargo all give worthy performances.

Very nice cameo performances by Guy Pearce, Ralph Fiennes, Evangeline Lilly and
David Morse

Put The Hurt Locker on your "to see" list. Catch it in a theater or catch it on DVD....The bigger the screen the better. This film will grab you from the very first frame.

Hail to the Troops and the sacrifices they make.
