Review of El Mariachi (1993) by Gregory W — 22 Nov 2008
Very well done first film from the legendary Robert Rodriguez. Financed with $7,000 this is a landmark among indy films. I have to say the story wasn't what I excpected, having seen Desperado and Once Upon a Time In Mexico before this, but it was good.
No frills no gimmicks just simple story about mistaken identity. The action is good and considering that he got I all done on only $7,000 just amazes me. The acting is all right, The best of the group is Carlos Gallardo as the Mariachi who isn't anything great but still good.
I gotta say it started a great career and since it is a good movie nothing much bad can be said about it.
