Product: Dance With the Devil [VHS] (1999)
Rating: 4.0
Entertaining, but certainly not for the kids!!
this movie-containing explicit sex scenes, and sick violence-is at times entertaining as well as quite hollow at some point. however this may be forgiven, due to the outstanding performances by Javier Bardem, who plays the main character Romeo Dolorosa, a satanworshipping, killing psychopath, and Rosie Perez, who is in the movie(as i would take it) his second half Perdita Durango, also pretty sickminded. Together they take it to the road to finally pick up a young couple. Their purpose is it, to sacrifice them to this weird gods or whatever Romeo believes in. But the ceremony is interrupted. Bad luck for Romeo and Perdita. With the couple in the back they start their way to Las Vegas, where Romeo has got some deals. But as those kind of roadmovies are, everything goes wrong. That's quite it with the story!!! however there are these few sequences in this movie that are just of sheer brilliance like these weird flashbacks, shortly-cut scenes that are being seen as Romeo or Perdita are telling stories of their past or so. Pretty sick though is the rough violence, shown in the movie!! But in this film it's simply a neccessity!! well, that's it so far!!! If you like Tarantino or Lynch, or you are even into splatter, go and watch it; if you've got the nerves, it's great fun!!bye, bye martin
