Film Geeks Working Out

Rating: 7/10 (22 February 2013)

It's interesting to see these young Film maverick's at work. Shot, Cut, and Directed by Robert Rodriguez and written by Quentin Tarantino. In this early effort you can see many a thing that will become trademarks. But one must say this is far from either one's best.
It is like a workout, flexing the muscles and developing the chops. There are some glorious bits here and there is enough to satisfy Film Geeks and the lovers of Drive-In/Grindhouse Flicks because that is where this colorful, violent, trashy, thing comes from.
Like most Rodriquez stuff you have to bring a strong stomach and be ready for some outrageous goings-on. There is a perverted gory atmosphere and some darkly funny Tarantino dialog and the make-up and SFX are quite good.
This was Clooney's big screen debut and he doesn't disappoint. The rest of the Cult Movie cast, are also along for the ride and seem to be having a grand old time. It's a loud and wild event and if you go with it there may be some eclectic enjoyment but may have some scurrying for the exits.
