Honeymooning Steve Zahn (a screenwriter, wink-wink) and Milla Jovovich, hiking on Kauai, are disconcerted by reports of the murders in Honolulu of, yes, a pair of honeymooners, reportedly by a man and a woman, still on the loose. Two couples they encounter (Chris Hemsworth & Marley Shelton; and Timothy Olyphant & Kiele Sanchez) arouse their suspicions. You can see the Big Twist coming for a mile in this stylish if forgettable little whodunit by David Twohy (who wrote Pitch Black), but there’s enjoyment in watching the machinations of the storytelling, and the acting’s good.
