Cliff (Steve Zahn) és Cydney (Milla Jovovich) már mindent elterveztek. Épp Hawaiira tartanak, a nászutasok paradicsomába és alig várják, hogy átadják magukat a kalandnak egy csodálatos szigeten. Az eldugott túraösvényeken más párokkal is összefutnak. Kale (Chris Hemsworth) és Cleo (Marley Shelton) majd Nick (Timothy Olyphant) és Gina (Kiele Sanchez) is az ő útjukat járja, amikor néhány rémült túrázótól értesülnek róla, hogy pszichopata gyilkosok ismét brutálisan meggyilkoltak egy nászutas párt a szigeten. Távol a civilizációtól és segítségtől mindenki egyre gyanúsabb. A pattanásig feszült hangulat, a nyomasztó atmoszféra és a sűrűsödő, nyugtalanító előjelek földi pokollá változatják az édenkertet. Idővel mindenkinek már csak egyetlen célja marad: a túlélés. (Palace Pictures)

Egy film, amely nem csak a nézőt, hanem önmagát is becsapja. A legjobb példa arra, hogy hogyan NEM szabad meglepő csattanót tartalmazó thrillert írni és rendezni, amelynek második megtekintéskor is ugyanolyan érdekesnek kellene lennie, mint első alkalommal. David Twohynak vissza kellene térnie a vizualitáshoz és a hangulathoz.

A very pleasant surprise. It’s true that the beginning (i.e. the first hour) could be a lot faster or shorter, but it’s not boring for a second. Likeable characters, a beautiful landscape and fun dialogues, those are the main reasons why I didn’t have any problem with this film and its initial slow pace. The last twenty minutes are brilliant, fast and tense, with a gimmick here and there, like slow motion preceding fast motion. The only flaw in this otherwise perfect thriller are those ten minutes of exposition that may be justified, but up until then the viewer is led by the nose and this scene comes right when the film starts gaining speed, so it’s hard not to look forward to the end of that explanation. Very good summer thriller. 7/10

This is exactly what I needed! Sitting tensely at the screen, guessing who's who. It's unbelievable how many emotions ran through me during that hour and a half. The cast and the script are above standard. The best people were chosen even for the smallest roles. Despite the pleasant beginning, we get into a mysterious atmosphere that you could cut with a knife. It is only after the denouement, when the cards are laid on the table that the real show begins. Even though the action ending may seem a bit comical, I enjoyed it to the last drop. 4.5 stars.

Such a stylish twist occurred to me long ago and I’m glad that somebody (Twohy) finally managed to get it into such a well-cast movie. That foxy Milla got to me again, back in great form after having a baby and the snappy-tongued Timothy “American Jedi" Olyphant who surprisingly often grabs all the attention for himself. Kiele Sanchez from Lost was just made for this type of movie and it was good to see tough guy Chris Hemsworth, who convinced me that he really does have the balls for Thor. And otherwise... wonderful landscapes, but that is somehow expected from this kind of movie.

A fantastic hit and one of the biggest surprises of the year. After a series of flops (which were more or less his own fault), Twohy manned up and made a terrific thriller that feels like Hitchcock came back from the dead and went to Hawaii to make another of his classics. A calm romantic introduction outlines the characters, only to be followed by a fairly unoriginal (those who have been watching will remain calm) twist and a perfect final half hour, which (also thanks to the music) is an absolutely crazy sprint full of exaggeration (skull-cracking) and undying adrenaline. The replacement Zahn and a decently acting Milla work well, but Timothy Olyphant is an otherworldly tough guy who can high-five Woody Harrelson for the sharpest tough guy of the fall season. 4 ½.
