Desperado es muy bueno! Ugh. I bring disgrace to the hispanic side of my family, as well as my high school Spanish teacher who brought me up to near fluency. Anywho.
So this movie? Pretty Bad-Ass. The gun shoot-outs were pretty slick, although I'm sure much of that was due to the convenient pauses were everyone either coincidentally ran out of bullets or decided to take a break. Killing's hard work, yo! I should know; I kill it everyday with my curly hair and random jingles that I sing throughout the house. Mostly to the dog.
Good cast. I mean, Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek are both sex on two legs, respectively, so that always helps. And you get to see her boobs! I could care less about most celebrititties, but Salma's on that exclusive list.
Pretty good overall, but Doug and I agreed on 3.5 stars out of 5. While the action was sweet, points were lost when he calls up his band mates to help him take out a bunch of dudes and they show up with their guitar cases as their only weapons. I'm sorry, but machine guns and
Additional points were lost due to the anti-climatic ending. Pretty meh during those last few scenes.
Did Tam cry? Nah. I guess I could've squeezed out a tear or two when that kid got shot, but a) he shouldn't have tried to retrieve his guitar during a shoot-out and b) he didn't even die, so whatevs.
Not sure if we'll go back and watch El Mariachi, but may/may not see Once Upon a Time in Mexico. Until then, adios cholos!
