The Weekend Away

Nothing special, nothing the least bit original, nothing rememberable, made for T. V type script and dialogue. Basically just like 95% of every other film released the past few years.

This movie has one of the most gorgeous settings I've ever seen as Croatia really fits this who-done-it style mystery movie. I don't think I've watched a movie before with Croatia as the settint. The red-roofed, ancient buildings by the water in a small and compacted city makes a great setting for a mystery movie.

However, the movie itself I thought was okay, but no more than decent at best. It was your typical mystery movie with lots of suspected suspects and plot twists that essentially ends with the unexpected. Not really my type of movie as I find them all quite the same in their own way. I also always find that movies such as this one always lack suspense. With this being said, decent movie with a beautiful setting. Worth the watch!

I really liked this film. I thought it had great suspense and the stakes were always high for the lead. Plus, the scenery of the country were beautiful. I, overall, thought the setups were cleverly executed. It was also lovely to see Leighton in a film; she should get hired more.

I was interested right away when I saw the trailer, then when it came out and I saw the reviews, I was like nah, maybe not. I put it off for months. Finally I said screw it.

It kept my interest from the start. Didn't know who did what or what happened or why. There was a few different stories within the main one which I also enjoyed. The acting from the lead was fine, not great but maybe it was just the film. However, all the other actors I found to be very good. I found it to keep my attention the entire movie, which is not easy to do these days. There are so many suspects and how that is was even great. Was it GREAT? Not really LOL, but very worth the watch. I say go for it if you want a generally fun who done it.

A really decent murder mystery which was short enough to be watchable and filmed in beautiful Croatia. The cast were all quite believable and it's one to sit and watch on a quiet night. It doesn't demand too much from the audience.
