Desperado

This was the film that introduced Robert Rodriguez to the film going masses, setting the stage for him to unleash such wonders as FROM DUSK TO DAWN and SIN CITY. In DESPERADO you can certainly see the direction his work is heading. Down and dirty action way down Mexico way with Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek looking all sweaty and nasty and all Latino heat and stuff. It's good straight forward action fun with some great lines, no doubt contributed by Quentin Tarantino who was involved in this project and has a great little acting role as well. Strong musical score with ultra-violence makes this a keeper and hey, even the chicks will like it for the Banderas factor.
