Full Plot Details

Director Robert Rodriguez picks up where his successful independent debut El Mariachi left off with this slam-bang South of the Border action saga. Bucho (Joaquim DeAlmeida) is a wealthy but casually bloodthirsty drug kingpin who rules a seedy Mexican border town. Bucho and his men make the mistake of angering El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas), a former musician who now carries an arsenal in his guitar case. Bucho was responsible for the death of El Mariachi's girlfriend and put a bullet through his fretting hand, making him unable to play the guitar. Bent on revenge, the musician-turned-killing machine arrives in town to put Bucho out of business, though he finds few allies except for Carolina (Salma Hayek), who runs a bookstore that doesn't seem to attract many readers. Desperado features supporting performances from Cheech Marin as a cynical bartender, Steve Buscemi as the cantina patron who sets up the story, and Quentin Tarantino as a man with a really terrible joke to tell.

Movie Reviews

eFilmCritic.com - 10/10 by Brian MckayA supreme example of style vs. substance - and style wins!
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 10/10 by Rick GroenTake nothing seriously - not the action, not the gore, not the plot, not the theme. Instead, view Desperado as it's meant to be seen - a comedy - and you're in for an unalloyed treat; heck, you're in for one of the funniest flicks of the year.
Time Out - 9/10 by Geoff AndrewRodriguez's second feature may be a rambling, derivative exercise in gratuitous violence, but its determination to proceed as if the word 'restraint' never existed makes for gleeful entertainment.
Austin Chronicle - 9/10 by Marjorie BaumgartenA bust-a-gut film experience that reveals Rodriguez as both a stylist versed in the mechanics of popular storytelling and a maverick whose ingenuity guides him along a singular path.
Spectrum Culture - 8/10 by Pat PaduaRodriguez edited the film himself, and his shot rhythms get better as the film goes along. His writing may fail him from time to time, but all is right again when he lets cinema do the talking.
eFilmCritic.com - 8/10 by Rob GonsalvesWithin Rodriguez' pulp formula stories are little pockets of ingenuity.
Reno Gazette-Journal - 8/10 by Forrest HartmanDesperado has merit as a guilty pleasure, but when the violence and action grow tiresome, the film has nothing to hang its hat on.
Boxoffice Magazine - 8/10 by Lael LoewensteinBanderas oozes sexual charisma and strength, and the supporting cast is strong all around, especially a wily Steve Buscemi as the Mariachi's friend.
Empire Magazine - 8/10 by Bob McCabeIt's big, it's daft, but Desperado is confident and hugely entertaining filmmaking.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Desson ThomsonThe commercial transition has been remarkably successful. This is primarily thanks to Rodriguez, who not only retains the original movie's kinetic flair, but takes it further.
