***1/2 – When a character in a movie specifically uses the term ‘red herring’ early on, that should be taken as an indicator of what to expect. That exact thing happens in this movie, and despite that, writer/director David Twohy (most famous for the surprisingly good Vin Diesel vehicle “Pitch Black”) managed to concoct an ending that was still not entirely predictable. Some odd directing/cinematographic techniques are used toward the end (black and white stuff, split screens, etc.), which don’t entirely work, but the story and acting are good enough to make this worth watching.
A Perfect Getaway
