Review of Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia (1974) by Lawrence Alexander B — 31 Dec 2009
Like the other Peckinpah films I've seen, this didn't do much of anything for me, but I didn't hate it either. It was watchable and held my interest, and Warren Oates has an unusual screen presence.
But I don't have much use for this brand of rampant nihilism (not to mention the unsettling misogyny, no matter how virtuous we pretend the intentions are). I'm also inclined to deduct points for being a direct influence on 8 Heads in a Duffel Bag, but that's not Peckinpah's fault.
