Tarantino Script

Rating: 7/10 (2 September 2012)

Quentin Tarantino is certifiable, and this proves it. Even by his standards, this movie is off the charts. Q.T. plays Rich Gecko, who, along with his brother Seth, have rob ed a bank, and are wanted by the FBI for murder. They stop at a motel on their way to Mexico, and kidnap a reverend Jacob(Harvey Keitel), his daughter, Kate(Juliette Lewis), and adopted son Scott. The family RV is used for their planned escape to Mexico. The sick mind of Tarantino writes a fantasy sequence where he gets dirty talk requesting oral sex from Kate; what a perv, the man is deeply disturbed. Along the way they make the big mistake of stopping at a club which houses vampires. A dancer appears on stage, dressed in a bikini and carrying a snake. It is Santanico(Salma Hayek smolders) and she dances as chaos breaks out. It's bloody vampire time and we get an overdose of flying body parts. Robert Rodriguez directed from the Tarantino script, and the two seem to have been separated at birth; crazy minds think alike. Don't expect Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs, but From Dusk to Dawn is above average for the genre.
