Sex-charged journalist Brian is chosen by an online publication to travel to Panama and document one of Latin America s premier festival celebrations Carnaval de Las Tablas. Dangers lurk for foreigners, and caught up in the carnival madness, Brian's outgoing manners suddenly place him in situations of both desperation and violence. Things are not what he expected when Brian sets out to meet his online hook-ups. A surprising relationship ensues and his fluid sexuality flows with a jagged edge in this tropical, rum soaked drama.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

I liked that it touches a subject that very little is recorded in films because it is a taboo for society. The classic man indecisive of what he wants or feels. At carnival you see a lot of alcohol and many things float. The Colombian was apparently a more sentimental guy and was more defined to what he wanted. Brian discharged his conflict with anger and for that reason he grabbed him and he enjoyed it. He is addicted to normal masturbation of us men. From criticism I would say that much of the film was left without subtitles. The initial part of the airport was very long and somewhat monotonous. Otherwise good

Travel, particularly to Latin America, is of great interest to me. After reading previous reviews, I was looking forward to seeing Sabor Tropical, although there was an element throughout the reviews that was vaguely troubling to me. After watching the "director's cut", I feel compelled to write a review that will spare others from an awful waste of time and money. First, most of the movie is presented as footage from a hand held video camera--the cinematography is therefore terrible. The perspective of Panama is street scenes behind one of the characters that could have been shot in Newark, New Jersey, or out of a moving car window of sky and fields that could have been in Iowa. The scenes of Carnival were shot at night with a voice over introduction that sounded like it was being read from a travel brochure. Second, the "star" is a narcissistic exhibitionist (to be kind) who is periodically referred to in the movie as resembling Colin Ferrel or James Dean--he doesn't. Finally, production values, story line, writing, acting, and directing are among some the the worst I've ever seen. Spare yourself.

As I watched Sabor, the first thing that came to mind is oh my god, that Matthew Leitch is one hot actor. His performance was riveting. I found the documentary style was fascinating. I found the carnival in Panama to be colorful and lively specially because of the high energy an colorful costumes. The ending was kinda shocking and amazing... I thought it was genius. I recommend this film because it very original and thought provoking. At first I wasn't so crazy about the colombian guy but as I thought about it his performance was very realistic. His character was believable as he was not a Hollywood type actor. I thought the story was so realistic you could not tell what was scripted and what was not. As I watched it on DVD, I would have really liked to have seen it on the big screen for it think it would have had a bigger impact. Some movies you just have to see them on the big screen and that's my preferred way I would have liked to have seen this.

I enjoyed this movie, it had a lot of interesting twists to it. Very colorful and informative.It's a suspenseful and captivating journey with a young man's visit to an unfamiliar country and his experiences along the way.The story was a roller coaster ride of emotions.The characters were interesting and often not what you would expect.The scenes were real and unfiltered showing the heart and soul of Panama. Which made for an interesting story, not very predictable.I would have liked to have seen more background on the main character learned more history on him.Definitely will checkout future films from the young lead actor.Loved the previous works from the director Jorge Ameer. I would recommend this movie if you are captivated by the unexpected.
