The axe is a bit heavier

I don’t understand why some people don’t understand. When the two couples who were suspected of being murderers show various abnormalities, everyone can probably guess that the murderer is our protagonist couple.
Generally speaking, the film is okay. It has been paving the way, as the first point of view of the couple, looking back at their lines and expressions as the murderer's explanation, it still makes sense. It's just that the director and the screenwriter deliberately misled us in order to fool us. If it is natural for the filming to reveal the truth from the beginning, the audience will say: "Oh, it turned out to be like this. It seems reasonable to look back. It is unexpected and reasonable. I didn't think it was the cleverness of the story. It was perfect." But when I saw the truth in this movie, when I looked back and looked at the previous plot, I found that it was the director and the screenwriter deliberately cheating, rather than the wise and foolish traces.

A Perfect Getaway quotes

  • Nick: Those boys are comin' in heavy, you might want to hang back and let 'em do their thing.

  • Cliff: So you were like Special Ops. What were you Seals? Rangers?

    Nick: Officially, I'm only allowed to say that I've been a sworn officer participating in a phase of certain missions that would make most men want to crawl up and hide inside their own assholes.

    Cydney: and unofficially?

    Nick: I'm a goddamn American Jedi. Possible title number one, by the way.

    Nick: Hey, see this? Took a frag from a Bouncing Betty. It's an antipersonnel mine. Caved in the back of my fucking head. Medevaced out to Germany. Got my skull rebuilt with space-age titanium. Can't go through a metal detector without ringing cherries, but that's cool. Let's me travel with Gilligan just about wherever I want.

    Cydney: Gilligan?

    Nick: My little buddy

    Cliff: That's some toothpick

    Nick: Here's the kicker, though. When I took that shrapnel, I never felt it. I mean, I felt the impact and I felt my backside go all wet, but no real pain. Now, maybe I don't recall the events in full. They did scoop out a little gray Spam back there, but get this. My wolf pack? They will swear that I was ambulatory for more than 17 minutes before they forced me to lie down. Tackled me. Even then I was looking to monkey-fuck a Marlboro Light. There's no nerve endings in the brain Cliff. Remember that when you write the scene.

    Cliff: Yeah, there's some really good details there.

    Gina: Yeah, he's really hard to kill.
