One of the Greatest (Albeit Bizarre) Films of All Time

Rating: 10/10 (2 June 1999)

Unlike most of the people who have commented on this movie, I saw it with no previous knowledge of the plot. When it suddenly changed in mid-stream from a crime drama to a horror flick, I nearly had a heart attack. I was absolutely not expecting any vampires to be showing up at this seedy Mexican bar. George Clooney did a great job acting in this film, and the writing and directing were top notch. The sound track was one of the best I have ever listened to in a movie, it fit perfectly well with the action on the screen. Last, but not least, how can you not like Cheech Marin playing three separate and totally over the top roles? This movie provided me with a great deal of pleasure, and that is all I ask of any film. If you have not seen it, I highly recommend that you do so, preferably the DVD or Laser Disk Director's Cut.
