Turistas (2006) Hey what’s up guys.
Today I’ll show you a crime-thriller film: “Turistas”!
Spoilers ahead, watch out and take care! Alex sits on his bus seat, unsettled by the
speed at which the bus is running. His sister Bea, and the sister’s bestie named Lady-Bro,
tease him and tell him to calm down and enjoy the ride. Still, Alex remains on edge. He
explodes and shouts at the bus driver, telling him to slow down. Bea reassures him that the bus
driver drives like this daily, and that he’s in good hands. Lady-Bro finds a funny drawing
on the back of the seat. Bea translates the writing, saying, “welcome to Brazil,
now bend over!” she then takes a picture of it. The bus catches up to a couple on a motorcycle on
the road. It tries to overtake the motorcycle; but almost runs into a car going the opposite
direction, and fails. It tries again and succeeds. Upon turning a corner, the bus driver suddenly
sees pedestrians on the street. He swerves immediately, running the bus off the road.
The bus begins to tilt, in danger of rolling down the mountainside. The passengers panic,
and escape through the windows and the sunroof. Everybody manages to get off,
before the bus can fall down the mountain. The passengers go through the wreck, to reclaim
their bags and luggage. Finn and Liam, two British men, appear and introduce themselves to the group.
They join the group. While leaving, Alex meets Pru, an Australian traveler that can speak fluent
Portuguese. She kisses Alex on the cheek as a greeting; but Alex doesn’t give her a tongue
massage feedback. They try again until they get it right. Pru joins the group as well.
Together, the group plans a way out. They learn that the next bus won’t come for
another ten hours. At the same time, the two british men realize that they have been on the
wrong bus this whole time. Instead of going to a town filled with beautiful children,
they are stuck on the side of the road. The passengers sit on the side of the road,
waiting for the next bus. Alex tries to phone for help, but gets no signal. To pass the time,
Bea decides to take pictures. She takes a picture of a local child. Suddenly, the child’s father
pushes her away. An altercation ensues, which Pru barely manages to resolve. Pru explains to the
group that thanks to the local tabloids, locals believe that foreigners come to Brazil to steal
children, and harvest their organs. As a result, locals have been rather hostile to foreigners.
Two women pass by, drinking coconut juice straight out of the shell. When Pru asks them
where they got it, the two women point them to the direction of a bar on a beach nearby.
The group decides to stop by the bar, while waiting for the next bus to arrive.
After a few minutes of hiking down the hill, they finally find the beach. They run out
to enjoy the sand, and decide to swim. The women change into their swimsuits. However,
Lady-Bro has forgotten her bikini top, and decides to go topless. Alex stops her. Lady-Bro
decides to wear a thin white shirt instead. The group runs to the water. After swimming and
playing around for a few minutes, Pru and Alex leave to get a drink from the bar. Shortly after,
the two british men arrive at the bar with a beautiful local. Finn charms the woman,
and kisses her on the cheek. In his excitement, he kisses the bartender as well.
Bea and Lady-Bro show up at the bar, and order drinks. Alex tells them to avoid the ice,
as it might contain bacteria; but they order cold beer anyway. Two other tourists arrive, a Swede
and his girlfriend. The Swede tells the group that they drove to Brazil from Mexico via motorcycle,
and have been at the beach for three days now. Suddenly, Alex remembers that they have to leave
to catch the bus. Bea tells him to slow down, and that they can hitchhike later anyway.
Alex concedes; and everyone raises their glass to toast. They spend the afternoon playing football
on the beach, drinking, and having fun. Pru sits the football game, and is approached
by Kiko, a local who wants to practice his English on her. Kiko is talking to her in broken English,
when Alex arrives and introduces himself. They chat amicably; and
Alex calls Bea over to introduce her to Kiko. Meanwhile, the bartender calls a local doctor,
telling him that she has eight gringos, meaning foreigners, at the beach right now
ready for taking. Afterward, he pays a visit to his assistants, and tells them that they
have a job. The two refuse, but are forced to accept because they need the money.
At night, the group parties by the beach. They drink shots; and Kiko invites Bea and Lady-Bro to
dance. The bartender dances with Liam. Finn spots the beautiful local from across the room. She
calls him over; and they wrestle their tongues. But they are interrupted by a group of rowdy local
kids. They move to a secluded area, where they do a fast workout. Two minutes later, the woman
gets dressed, and takes money from Finn’s wallet, revealing that she is a prostitute, and was only
after his money, rather than his bad hormones. Meanwhile, Alex and Pru get to dancing. Finn
returns to the bar after his escapade, and sees the Swede and his girlfriend passed out.
Suddenly, Pru starts seeing visions and feeling dizzy. the doctor’s assistant
watches silently from a distance, as the foreigners wear themselves out.
The next morning, Bea wakes up after having passed out on the beach.
Alex tells her that their passports, money, and credit cards were all stolen. He correctly
guesses that they were drugged. They wake up the rest of the group, and leave the beach.
At the same time, the Swede and his girlfriend are carried through the jungle-like hogs.
The men carrying them, take a break by the river. While they are relaxing,
their two captives wake up, and try to escape. However, only the woman manages to run away. The
man tries to stop the goons from running after her, but gets hacked to death with a machete.
The woman gets chased into the forest. Before her captor can catch up to her, she unknowingly
runs off a cliff, and plummets to her death. On the other side, The group heads to the local
town, to look for the police station. Suddenly, Alex finds the Swede’s motorcycle, parked by a
local’s house. He talks with the owner, and asks him who owns the bike. Simultaneously,
Lady-Bro sees a kid wearing Alex’s hat. When she calls his attention, the kid runs
away. Liam chases after him through the town. He throws a rock at the kid, hitting him in the
head, and causing him to stumble. He immediately regrets this, and goes to check on the kid. The
rest of the group find them; but so do the locals, who instantly start harassing Liam.
Kiko fortunately arrives in time to bail them out. They then escape into the forest.
They swing by Kiko’s house. Kiko tells his mother that he is with the foreigners, and
that he will be taking them to his uncle’s house, where they can be safe. The group wants to leave
on the next bus; but he tells them that it won’t arrive for another two days. Kiko gets a machete,
and leads the group to his uncle’s house. While hiking, Alex takes a break to pee. He
narrowly misses the spot where the Swede’s girlfriend fell. They continue hiking,
and eventually reach a waterfall. Kiko tells them that they can take a break here.
Meanwhile, the doctor gets a call, and learns that the group of foreigners are
with Kiko. He is told that Kiko will bring them to his house by nightfall. the doctor
tells his men that they should be kept alive, because they are worthless to him otherwise.
He notices one of his men not paying attention. So He takes the bamboo skewer from his food,
and stabs it into the man’s eye, killing him. the doctor leaves to prepare for the operation.
Back at the waterfall, Kiko tells the group that there’s a cave hidden beneath the water.
He daringly jumps from the waterfall, and lands safely. Everyone except Liam and Lady-Bro, go
down to swim in the water. They dive through the falls past a series of narrow crevices. Alex tries
to stop Kiko from continuing further; but Kiko just swims away. The rest of the group is forced
to follow, as only Kiko has a flashlight. Finally, they arrive at the beautiful and spacious
cave behind the waterfalls. While Alex and the two swim and enjoy the breathtaking environment,
Kiko talks to Bea. He excitedly tells her that he’s never spoken to a gringo like this before.
Suddenly, his expression changes into one of worry. He tells Bea that they should return
to the town. However, the group refuses, and decides to continue to the house.
They return to find Liam and Lady-Bro practicing tongue massage. Before leaving,
Alex and Pru decide to jump from the waterfall. They land safely. Kiko demonstrates to the rest
of the group how to jump. He jumps into the water below, but accidentally hits
his head on the rocks underneath. He bleeds and is knocked unconscious.
The group fortunately finds the uncle’s house. They set Kiko down on a chair, and look inside
the house for any medical supplies. Pru finds a medicine cabinet, filled with pills prescribed
to different people, each with a different nationality. Finn finds a stapler, which they use
to close Kiko’s head wounds. Kiko wakes up from the pain, and walks himself to the bedroom.
There, Alex finds clothes. They manage to find food, and turn the electricity on. Alex opens
the drawers, and finds a bunch of passports. He also pockets a Swiss army knife. Over dinner, the
group reluctantly decides to stay the night. While the group sleeps, Alex watches the security
cameras. Suddenly, everyone is woken up by the sound of a helicopter landing outside. They walk
out; and Kiko rushes to the helicopter. He talks to the doctor, his “uncle”, and tries to talk him
out of something. He fails; and the doctor and his men enter the house with equipment and guns.
Inside, Kiko continues to convince the doctor to stop. the doctor’s assistant talks to Alex,
and tells him to run. When Alex asks why, the assistant tells him that the doctor has bad plans
for them. Unable to convince the doctor, Kiko guiltily storms out of the house.
Suddenly, the men grab Lady-Bro. Alex tries to help, but gets beaten into submission.
Lady-Bro wakes up, just as a sedative is injected into her.
the doctor disinfects her stomach. The rest of the group is locked up in the dog cages outside.
A helpless and naked Finn watches as the doctor cuts into Lady-Bro’s belly.
the doctor tells them both that in Brazil, organ transplants are nearly impossible to get. This
problem is only agitated by foreigners coming to Brazil, to take advantage of its cheap hospitals
and low-cost medical procedures. the doctor is angry over how foreigners continue to take
advantage of his country time and time again. Lady-Bro dies, just as the doctor finishes cutting
out her kidney. He tells Finn that he’s next. He takes a break. He catches one of his men, playing
a nasty hormone game with their lover. They stop and get Pru to prep her for the operation.
Outside, Alex grabs the Swiss knife from his pocket. He hands it to Bea, who uses it to cut his
bindings. He frees her and Pru as well. The goon arrives to retrieve Pru; but Pru resists and kicks
his ass away. Alex manages to stab the man in the chick neck; but he manages to pull out his gun.
Before he can shoot Pru, Kiko arrives and stabs the man repeatedly with a machete. They escape
the cages. Pru heads to the waterfalls; while the remaining three return to the house to get Finn.
Alex picks up the dead goon’s handgun. The assistant prepares to put Finn
under. She kisses him on the lip, almost as if she regrets what she’s about to do.
She then injects the sedative through Finn’s veins. Just then, Liam enters the room with the
gun. The assistant backs away, and Liam brings an unconscious Finn’s body out the window.
At the same time, the doctor’s assistant notices the commotion through the security cameras.
He rushes outside to look for them; but they have managed to hide under the floorboards.
Kiko stabs his foot through the boards; and they make a run for it.
One of the doctor’s chases after the girls, while armed with a crossbow. Pru and Bea get
separated. Bea hides under a rock, stifling her screams as large ants swarm her hand. The man
hears the commotion at the house, and returns. Back at the house, the doctor’s assistant recovers
and shoots his rifle, hitting Finn squarely in the head. An enraged Liam walks to the assistant,
and tries to shoot him, but also gets shot. While the rest of the group runs away,
Liam’s body is hauled back inside, so that its organs can be salvaged.
Morning arrives; and Alex finds Bea by the waterfalls. They dive to hide in caves, and
find Pru waiting in one of the crevices. Together, they return to Kiko’s secret cave. While swimming,
Alex tries to drown Kiko, saying that Kiko was in on the plot. However, the doctor arrives with
his assistant. Alex’s hand gets shot; while Kiko is shot through the chest and dies.
They swim away, and surface in one of the crevices for air. The henchman with the arrow finds them;
and they are forced to swim away. A chase ensues; and Bea is separated from Alex and Pru.
She encounters the henchman, and gets strangled. She manages to free herself, grab the man’s arrow,
and stab him in the neck repeatedly. Just then, Alex finds Bea; and they
regroup. They swim away, but are once again blocked by the doctor and his assistant.
They hide behind the rocks, as the doctor searches for them in the dark. Alex ambushes the doctor,
and knocks him to the ground. He grabs a large rock, and bashes the doctor’s head in.
The assistant arrives and points the rifle at Alex. the doctor orders him to shoot;
but Pru tries to reason with him, saying that they haven’t done anything wrong. the doctor
calls his assistant a coward. This infuriates him, and causes him to shoot the doctor,
instead of the foreigners. He then leaves. The three manage to walk out of the jungle.
They find kids playing by the river. Upon spotting them,
the children leave, and return with a local wielding a machete. Fortunately,
the man is not hostile, and even takes them in to feed them and treat their wounds.
They make it back to the airport, where they overhear some tourists arguing about whether
they should take the bus or the plane. Alex advises them to take the plane. Alex, Bea,
and Pru leave Brazil, forever scarred by the horrors they had just experienced!
