One of the best films of '05

Rating: 10/10 (16 September 2005)

If you're not familiar with the work of Robert Rodriguez, and you're just getting into his movies, this is one of the movies you MUST check out to acquaint yourself with this master's work (Desperado, El Mariachi, and Once Upon A Time In Mexico being the others).
The cast is amazing (especially Mickey Rourke), the visuals are stunning, and the fact that Rodriguez remained true to Frank Miller's work in itself is most admirable. Rodriguez (and, for a segment, Quentin Tarantino) is able to drop you into the Hell that is Basin City. Over time, you begin to feel yourself become a part of the environment...and you enjoy it.
Seriously one of the best films of 2005. Most definitely highly recommended viewing.
