Review of Turistas (2006) by Darcey Louise P — 24 Sep 2012
Does for sunny destinations as Jaws did for the water. Combined, you'll never travel again!
Filling a film full of hardbodies usually amounts to pure lame viewing but Turistas manages to combine a great opening act with a somewhat sketchy torture porn final act to achieve an enjoyable watch.
While not as gory as you might expect from the subgenre, especially considering the R rating (18a in Canada), it does have some of the red stuff flowing. But really, you watch this film for the beautiful first half and just follow it along for the ride in the second.
Though I will admit, I'm not as keen to travel to Brazil as I used to be since seeing this film so it must obviously did something right ;).
