Review of El Mariachi (1993) by Justin P — 26 May 2008
This movie was made for $7,000 (in essence, no budget) and it has better production value than most small (yet, much larger) budget films that I've seen. Even Clerks was done for roundabouts $30,000 and it looks like something my neighbor pieced together from old home videos when compared with El Mariachi.
This excellent story started the Mariachi trilogy (Desperado and Once Upon A Time In Mexico). While Desperado has the best dialogue and action and Once Upon A Time In Mexico has Johnny Depp, El Mariachi has the story.
