Review of Turistas (2006) by James M — 24 Oct 2010
Reasonable. A very solid first half spoilt a bit by a rushed second half. It builds up the suspense nicely by creating a sense of dread from the start. Everything is signposted from the start, we know who the bad guy is, what his motivation is and more or less how its going to happen.
This works for the first half but the letdown comes when the villian and victims meet each other. The characters are substantial enough but their choices are dreadful. Total idiots. This isnt the 'torture porn' it was accused of, the gore is mild and infrequent.
Overall a decent time passer.
