Let's play

This is allegedly the sequel to "El Mariachi", but let's be honest, this is actually the same film made with more experience, a higher budget, better actors and better technology... and phenomenal music.

7/10

Top-notch action with south of the border style

Solely responsible for the English-speaking market success of director Robert Rodriguez and Antonio Banderas, this outlandish, action-packed odyssey of adventure is a spicy thriller with plenty of passion and bullets as it charts the rise, fall and eventual return of a vengeful hit-man, played to the hilt by Banderas himself.

As the guitar-playing, softly-spoken, floppy-haired hero, Banderas is excellent in what is his best performance to date and he is truly unforgettable as El Mariachi. The film starts off with style featuring two shaggy-dog stories from some of modern cinema's quirkiest characters; the inimitable Steve Buscemi sets the scene whilst Quentin Tarantino shares a joke with Cheech Marin's bartender.

From then on the action is pretty much non-stop, with shoot outs in the bar, in the street and in various sleazy back alleyways. There's fun to be had from a super armoured car and from Danny Trejo's insane hit-man who's a sure-fire hit with a knife. An engaging thrill-ride that's packed with real thrills and sheened with style, Desperado is a top notch action flick.

More money bigger actors flashier action

It's sort of a sequel to director Robert Rodriquez's low budget indie "El Mariachi". Steve Buscemi comes into the bar and starts telling the bartender (Cheech Marin) the story of El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) who tore up a bar to get info on Bucho (Joaquim de Almeida). El Mariachi is seeking to avenge the death of his love. Buscemi was actually telling a fake story to help smoke out Bucho. El Mariachi goes shoot up the bar. On the street, he gets shot in the arm. Carolina (Salma Hayek) brings him back to her bookstore café. Navajas (Danny Trejo) is the knife throwing maniac.

Rodriquez got a few more bucks to use in this wild gunfight action. He got some bigger names non-amateur actors. It's definitely flashier and more professional looking. The story and dialog still needs work but that's not the point of this franchise. The original has the joy of low budget indie discovery. This one is generally better looking.
