Review of Turistas (2006) by Dennis L — 04 Jul 2008

Can't help but compare this movie with Hostel. Same basic plot - tourists gets tortured with a premium for Americans - but the comparison ends there. Definitely a lame version of Hostel. Take an extremely long time to develop and for what? Just to see Beau Garrett's pancreas and kidneys being ripped out.

The whole movie itself doesn't make much sense and doesn't really explain very well why the bad guys are after the tourists. The well promoted underwater chase scene was a complete letdown. Wasn't thrilling or exciting at all.

I think the real horror is the fact that a movie this bad was allowed to be made at all.
