I do like action films. If you are going to make it ridiculous, then let it be funny.
A very different and much livelier sequel sees a more known actor, step into a shoes of that mysterious guitarist whose case stores an arsenal of death. Yes, he's that mysterious stranger whose somehow acquired a gift for gunfire overnight, or was it a silent deadly talent.
Desperado is written and directed by Robert Rodriguez. It stars Antonio Banderas, Joaquim de Almedia, Steve Buscemi, Salma Hayek, Cheech Marin and Quentin Tarantino.
This movie is about a Mexican guy who is out for revenge by hunting down his brother for killing his girlfriend! Until he met a beautiful women who took him in to care for him after being shot by his enemies, it almost change everything!
This movie was supposed to be titled the Gunslinger AKA El Pistolero and starring John Leguizamo in the title role. Raúl juliá was supposed to be playing the part of "Bucho".
Writer/director Robert Rodriguez and company delivered the goods with "Desperado". I saw this movie in the theater (Fresh Meadows, NY) and many times since.
Ok so my thoughts went like this: progressively increasing from "alright, it's a bit far-fetched. Everything was a total mess thrown together and then blown apart like pinata.
'Desperado' has everything that i like to see in action films. It is not totally clumsy, it has a considerably good art direction and also good cinematography(just look at the insane action scenes) and it is fun and over the top.
A masterclass in shootout scenes! Desperado follows El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas taking on the role from Carlos Gallardo who sits back in a producer role this time) on the continuation of his journey to seek revenge on a violent gang leader named Bucho.
