"La Sorpresa" means "the surprise" but there were no surprises here. It's a Mexican B movie. That part is okay. I like Latin American Cinema so I am willing to take a chance on some really obscure films like this one, once in a while. Sometimes I am pleasantly surprised and find a hidden gem, but not this time. It has good actors, but decent acting was not enough to make up for other areas that were lacking. Like some character development and a plot. Among the questions that were left unanswered was "what is this movie about?". The two lead actresses are beautiful and I suppose the two male leads might be good looking too. Apart from three or so more actors with bit parts, that was the whole cast. The sex and betrayal were not enough to make this an erotic thriller and the very limited nudity had no real exploitative value. I would recommend avoiding this movie unless you have nothing better to do, which I think would be unlikely.
