Review of Desperado (1995) by Frog B — 20 Jan 2010
This one is my favorite of the "El Mariachi" series because it tells the best story without being too over the top or too pretentious. The first movie is good despite the resources Rodriguez had to work with but it still could have been more action packed and had less silliness in it.
"Once Upon a Time in Mexico" was good too, still I think it went too over the top even by the standards of the series. "Desperado" is an excellent part of the "El Mariachi" series.
Though, I've always wondered why being a mariachi is such a deadly occupation in this trilogy. It is a great shoot 'em up, tells a great story, and is cheesy only to a point where it puts a smile on your face.
