One Word: Awesome

Rating: 9/10 (11 August 2000)

The man who brought us Desperado, The Faculty, and El Mariachi brings an action/horror film like no other. From Dusk Till Dawn tell the story of Seth and Richard Gecko (George Clooney,Quentin Tarantino) brothers in crime, on the run from the FBI and Texas rangers. They're heading toward Mexico when they met up with a family on vacation (Harvey Keitel,Juliette Lewis,Ernest Liu). They take the family hostage and head down to a bar where the Geckos will met a friend who has all the things they need. But upon entering the bar and having a few drinks they realize they're in deeper than ever thought. This is the film that brought George Clooney to the superstar status. He's cool, violent, and one person that should not to be messed with. You're in awe of him the entire film. Quentin is goofy, quiet, and sick. He's perfect as Clooney's annoying little brother. Keitel doesn't do too much and it works. He's a father that truly cares about his kids and will do anything for them. Lewis is sassy, funny, cute and can kick butt. She should do more action films. The girl has star power. This film is up there with Dead Alive and Starship Troopers as one of the bloodiest films of all time. There is extreme violence, lots of gore, and tanker trucks full of blood. Robert Rodriguez out does himself with this one. He made gunfights look cool in Desperado and makes the undead looks cool in this film. From Dusk Till Dawn is one bloody action extravaganza that thrills you one minute and grosses you out the next. Run, don't walk and rent this film. It's amazing.
