Nicely twisted -- all time great insomniac special

Rating: 7/10 (9 September 2005)

This is the kind of movie you stumble across on cable while channel surfing in the middle of an insomniac night. You see Harvey Keitel, George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino, but you can't place it among their more familiar efforts, especially if you missed the opening credits and you don't have a channel guide.
By this point you are hooked in what seems like a crime-spree/hostage/road flick. The journey surprisingly leads to a biker bar/roadhouse/strip joint in the middle of nowhere Mexico, where Salma Hayek performs what is perhaps the most erotic snake dance ever committed to film. Without fully stripping, she dances on a table, slips off here heels, puts her bare toes in Tarantino's mouth and pours liquor that runs down her leg into his mouth.
All of a sudden, the bar denizens turn into vampire ghouls and all hell breaks loose, with plenty of gore. All the while, you ask yourself: "What IS this movie?"
