Reviews:
Berardinelli, Internet Critic: "Above Average This could have been a triumph of structure over story if only the importance of the structure had been better camouflaged.”
Roger Ebert: “Good The plot will require some discussion after the film is over. Is it misleading? Yes. Does it cheat? I think not. It only seems to cheat. That’s part of the effect. All’s fair in love and war, and the plots of thrillers.”
USA Today: “Above Average A Perfect Getaway has its imperfections, but for a thriller of its kind, it's a lively and slick summer escape.”
