For those who don't travel often, yet are used to taking their bad habits with them into other cultures, here is film that you can use as a cautionary tale. The film starts out with the usual preparations for travel from Brian (played by Matthew Leitch) who's eagerness to meet local women online gets him into serious trouble. What makes this film work so well is the reality of the possibilities. Everything that happens to the main character could happen to you. What is especially disturbing is how many of us go to other countries without knowing much about the culture and laws and how exposed we could be to local organized crime. Unfortunately many suffer the consequences cause we become easy targets. This is what happened to our happy tourist Brian. He's like a college kid who goes to a spring break that turns sour. Some scenes were very hard to watch and excessive for my taste but that's just my personal opinion. However, I was able to get pass that because I was very much engaged in the story. Sabor is also a character study of how most of us use the camera and internet to communicate intimate information to someone we don't know, yet may seem trusting. This film should be seen specially because it is filled with some very dark and memorable moments. recommended.
