I first heard of this movie in a commercial.  It wasn’t even a trailer; it was literally a commercial that lasted 15 seconds and ended with the announcer declaring, “There’s a twist ending you won’t believe!”  So I had to go see the full trailer for myself, and couldn’t see what the big deal could possibly be.  There are three couples featured prominently in the trailer.  How difficult can it be to figure it out?

The movie stars Steve Zahn and Milla Jovovich as newlyweds Cliff and Cydney on their Hawaiin honeymoon.  They plan to spend a portion of their honeymoon hiking an island trail to a hidden beach on an isolated portion of the island.  Early on the trail they meet up with Nick and Gina (Timothy Olyphant and Kiele Sanchez) and the two couples start to hike the  trail together.  Along the way they discover that there is a manhunt underway for a man and woman who are stalking, torturing,  and killing hikers on the islands.

This movie seems pretty straightforward.  I had a very hard time coming to a final opinion on this film.  All I can say is that you will think of every possible twist.  The correct answer will occur to you, it is impossible for it not to.  Now, to completely contradict myself, there is no possible way for you to figure out what the twist ending will be.  I know that makes no sense, but isn’t that a perfect reason to see the movie?  The only way for you to understand what I mean is to see it for yourself.
