It was good until......

Rating: Null/10 (1 November 1998)

From Dusk Till Dawn was an excellent film until.......those vampires!! Although it made an intriguing plot twist it was disappointing. George Clooney was excellent as Seth Gecko, and being a Tarantino fan, I thought that he played a wonderful foil to Tarantino's character Richard Gecko.
This movie had all the makings for a successful action-packed movie. Murder, chase scenes, kidnappings and then everyone turns into vampires!!What the heck is going on here. I was all excited to see what was going to happen and then when everyone turned into vampires, I found myself laughing at a movie that once had me rivetted to the screen.
The cast played their parts well, Havey Keitel and Julilette Lewis played wonderfully colourful characters and young Ernest Liu did an excellent job as the newcomer. Although the film became a little satirical, there were some classic Tarantino shots that make fans of his work admire the camera angles and other technical aspects. I think that the movie would have been better off going on the storyline that it originally started with, but hey, some people found it quiet enjoying. Only one other thing bothered me about this movie, the ending left me sitting in a dumbfounded state.
I think this movie will become a cult favourite, in the tradition of other Tarantino works, and will surely be a fave with fans of the supernatual vampire aspect....I watch the film every now and again, and I find that it is growing on me, although I would still like to have a talk with the writers Robert Kurtzman and Quentin Tarantino.
