"Turistas" is a tense, unsettling thriller centering around a diverse group of young adventure travelers. After a terrifying bus accident maroons them in a remote Brazilian beach town, they slowly discover that the white sand beaches and lush jungles are concealing a darker, unsettling secret...
The discovery of the beautiful and secluded beach gives way to a day in the sun and surf, an afternoon at the bar, and a night of exotic liquors and hot dancing with the locals. It's everything their vacation is supposed to be, until they wake up face down in the sand the following morning, drugged and robbed, their possessions gone, and the trace of very real danger in the air. There are places where Americans can travel without worry or fear, but this remote paradise is not one of them.
"TURISTAS" is the first American production to shoot entirely in the country of Brazil.
More.
My predictions:
- This movie will suck;
- People in Brazil will (rightfully) complain about the portrayal of the country;
- Someone will speak Portuguese with a bad American accent;
- Someone will speak English with a supposedly Brazilian accent, but actually Spanish;
- Oh, and the movie will suck.
P.S. At least from the clip above I see at least the extras in the movie actually speak Brazilian Portuguese, with a Rio de Janeiro accent, I might add.
