Rating: 8/10 (24 March 2003)

From Dusk Til Dawn (1996) D: Robert Rodriguez. Harvey Keitel, George Clooney, Quentin Tarantino, Juliette Lewis, Salma Hayek, Cheech Marin, Tom Savini, Fred Williamson, Kelly Preston, Ernest Liu. Gory, humorous thriller with the biggest second half 360 since MULHOLLAND DRIVE. Two brother criminals take a family hostage over the border into Mexico and have one more night until freedom. That is, until they visit a bar inhabited by bloodthirsty vampires! Clooney and Tarantino really stand out as the criminal brothers. The special effects are bloody and at times cheesy, but it's all in good fun. RATING: 8 out of 10. Rated R for graphic violence and gore, profanity, and nudity.
