Review of Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia (1974) by Irvin C — 10 Nov 2013
By virtue of its title, I went "SOLD!" but then it's also directed by Sam Peckinpah so it's DOUBLE-sold. This is about a rich Mexican crime lord who orders his network to bring the head of the man who knocked up his young daughter and Warren Oates, an American expat, is caught up on it.
This one isn't QUITE as lurid or exploitive as the title suggests. Well, it is sort of. There are lots of nudity and violence but Peckinpah actually takes his time to build character and story so when it comes, it was quite satisfying.
It mixes absurd dark humor, romance and violence very well. It's pretty darn awesome.
