1995 Directed by Robert Rodriguez. Starring: Antonio Banderas,
Salma Hayek, Joaquim de Almeida, Steve Buscemi, Quentin Tarantino.
Mexico´s
answer to Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, delivers here
roaring action in a nice package, with rumbling rock music
in the background. There are close points of similarity between
them. Rodriguez has a bigger passion for action, but otherwise
are we recognize the jokes and jests from Tarantino´s films.
Antonio
Banderas is the guitar playing avenger in "Desperado", who
after that his woman been murdered, is walking about with
a whole armoury in a guitar case and clear up among Mexico´s
lowlifes. He move like a panther, because every movement he
makes is perfectly choreographed. Among all shooting is he
meet the shapely librarian Salma Hayek, who he has a famous
love-affair with. With her innocent brown eyes and her pouting
mouth is she the delightful sight in "Desperado".

Rodriguez
rapid talking buddy Quentin is also here and shows his dramatic
talents. He crack a joke and has then his brain shot off.
He get passed with great credit. All lowlifes are too brutal
and unpleasant, and the action scenes are very unrealistic.
An example is when Antonio Banderas goes into a bar full of
scumbags. When it breaks out jumps Banderas up on the bar
counter and shoots wildly all round, while bullets whistling
by him. He perform tricks up there that makes him look like
a ballet-dancer. When the gunpowder smoke has settled down
are all scums dead. Banderas walks out from there without
a scratch. As you understand is this not a deep film, but
it´s the more entertaining. As an actionfilm are there few
which can match "Desperado".
