A WILD RIDE

Rating: Null/10 (21 September 1999)

WOW!! From Dusk til Dawn is literally drenched in violence, gore, profanity and topless women.....the ultimate guy movie. This movie is extreme in every way, and definitely not for the faint-hearted. George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino are the Gecko brothers, a couple of criminals who are on the run, having killed several people in a bank robbery, and then a few more as they flee. Clooney's character is evil, to be sure, but only kills when it is *necessary;* Tarantino's character, on the other hand, is a sexual predator and killer who flies into rages and sometimes kills for no good reason. The pair stop at a seedy motel, run across a father (Harvey Keitel)and his two children (the daughter: Juliette Lewis) who stop at the motel, and take the three hostage, using their RV as cover to get across the border into Mexico. Clooney's character has arranged a rendezvous with some criminals in Mexico, who will get 30% of the money the Gecko's stole from the bank. The rendezvous point is an infamous bar out in the middle of nowhere: the Titty Twister, which is *open from dusk til dawn.* Once the brothers, with their hostages in tow, have bullied their way into the establishment, the action REALLY begins. Lets just say that the bar is not what it appears to be... For those who want high-energy, extreme entertainment, this is a great movie. 10/10
