Desperado

This is Peckinpah crossed with John Woo on speed, full of souped up action pieces that defy anything even approaching credibility in their wanton lust for pure cinematic destruction...

Rodriguez has a lively color sense, a good feel for composition and a willingness to put the camera anywhere it can possibly go. What happens looks terrific.

...even at its bloodiest, the film is never less than slick and stylish.
