Pulp(y) Fiction

Rating: Null/10 (31 March 2003)

FROM DUSK TILL DAWN (1996) *** Harvey Keitel, George Clooney, Quentin Tarantino, Juliette Lewis, Ernest Liu, Cheech Marin, Fred Williamson, Salma Hayek, Michael Parks, Kelly Preston, John Saxon. Hybrid talents of crime thriller Tarantino and kitchen sink violence of Rodriguez combine in this high octane cocktail about crime spree siblings Clooney and Tarantino (who also did the screenplay) high-tailing it to Mexico with an unwitting family (Keitel, Lewis and Liu) as their hostages/getaway for a rendezvous in hell: a truck-stop strip joint full of vampires! Blood drenched gore and non-stop action galore with a high body count and low i.q. approach but nonetheless campy good fun with a nice strong lead by Clooney.
