Movie Reviews of Turistas (Unrated Edition)
Movie Review: Quite watchable
Summary: 5 Stars
Only two stars total from first 9 reviewers? I liked watching Turistas. It deserves four stars, but I'm giving it five to level out the, in my view, unfairly low initial ratings.
Contrary to what other reviewers have said here, in my opinion the acting was impeccable, the plot - although simple - was believable and engaging, and the movie wasn't a direct knock off of anything known, unless one considers as such every "tourists-in-danger" type of film. I'd recommend Turistas over some recent horror flicks, including Saw III, which I thought was pretty dull, and Sublime, which was 100% c*apola.
Whoever traveled to a foreign country in the casual style of our young turistas, will be familiar with situations presented in the film: reckless driving on a narrow road, odd customs and ways of meeting and greeting people, frequent misunderstandings, lack of Western luxuries, separation between social castes, absence of Rambo (or a cop) when you need him, unexpected adventures and perils, etc.
To those who do not want to risk wasting their time I'd say that if the first 15 minutes of the film don't catch your interest then chances are you would not like Turistas at all.
Movie Review: True Thriller Style
Summary: 5 Stars
There seems to be a lot of strange people who do the reviews on Amazon that just look for the gore and little plot - as per the likes of "Hostel" etc .
This film is not a gore fest - it is in the tradition of a good thriller with a good storyline . The tension starts from the very beginning of the film - you get to know the main characters very quickly and all that happens to them makes a lot of sense a lot of backpackers the world over who travel to 3rd world destinations will testify to .
The acting is excellent , the script fine , the location unusual , the thrills non stop , and the horror in adequate doses to make the film believable .
Don't judge this film by a few reviews on here including Amazon's own which is fairly inaccurate (which makes me believe that the Amazon reviewer has'nt actually watched the movie but is quoting from other references). As per the reviews i read on "Vacancy" recently which were also very unfair and inacccurate by reviewers who were wantinga cheap B movie gore fest - this film is of a high quality in all aspects - RECOMMENDED to keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish - good traditional bloody thriller !!
Movie Review: Deserves more 5 Stars
This movie is reminiscent of the movie HOSTEL only without as much gore. As a serious horror fan, I thoroughly enjoyed Hostel but every once in a while you need an intense thriller that focuses more on the tension of the situation than just blood and guts. This movie is that more tense/ less gore "Hostel". The themes are similar-- American/European tourists going on vacation to a foreign exotic country where they get way more than they bargained for when they fall into the sinister hands of a group of locals with other inhumane plans.... I thoroughly enjoyed the movie; the acting was pretty decent, nothing overtly cheesy and their responses and interactions were believable. I could realistically believe that this storyline could have actually taken place. The plot was nothing overly imagined nor too far fetched in my opinion. The characters were intriguing to watch-- likable personalities and sensual hard bodies *smiles*... I think this movie was good enough to have caught it on the bigs screen but popping it into your DVD player on a lazy Saturday is a good bet also. Overall a good "vacationers in danger" thriller.Movie Review: Movie Inspired By A Possible Fact
Summary: 5 Stars
When I meant to download Rush Hour 3 starring Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan on Limewire OS X, the movie was replaced with this movie, "Turistas". I willingly watched the movie and realized how the world can be so gruesome and deceptive. In fact, Brazil is devoid of safety and peace. To those who travel overseas or wish to migrate or travel internationally, please go to US Travel website: travel.state.gov and search for any country and the website will give specific information, including recent news and events.
Why did the writers/director(s) made and officially released this movie "Turistas"? To let us be aware that everywhere we go or do is not always what it seems. There are some malicious citizens from the country who lie and cheat people, especially American citizens, by giving falsified information on these suspicious websites.
Movie Review: Loved it !
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this movie . It's nice to watch their vacation , what is going to happen with them . I was thrilled the whole movie , hoping nothing would happen to them . The scenes of diving in the cave are wonderful . Besides running from the kidnappers , they have to find a way out by swimming in deep and dangerous cave. Nice to see them having fun in the beginning , nice landscape , nice cast , some horror and suspense . Everything well balanced . I don't understand what more people expect . They complain there is not a lot of horror , but that doesn't make the movide bad . People don't know how to appreciate a movie . People are so demanding . Never pleased . I loved this movie . It's a first time I have to watch a movie again just to hear the comentary .
