El Mariachi, the first film in the series was a pretty nice low budget effort from a very talented rookie film maker. Given a few bucks and a great cast to work with, Rodriguez brings a top notch action flick to... Full review

So I was particularly interested to see the bigger budget remake, also by Rodriguez, and starring the delicious Antonio Banderas, who looks as though the role was written for him.
Theres plenty of action and will keep Banderas fans happy

Desperado is an extremely fun exercise in stylistic violence, and the filmmaking gifts that Rodriguez boasted in his original film are very much in evidence here.

As I said earlier, cartoons can pull this off in a five minute short film.
His first smart move is casting Steve Buscemi as Buscemi.
Its the first of many clever gunfights Rodriguez hurls at his unsuspecting audience.

In "Desperado", the romantic element is what works best; Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek are one of the most electric screen combos in recent memory and still, I think it's Hayek's best role.
Rodriguez is a filmmaker who knows how to catch the audiences eye with his incredibly creative visual style which includes constant movements, zooms and other tricks to make a film visually fascinating; sometimes these tricks are a little overused (I'll get to that in a moment with "Desperado").

And, true to form, "Desperado" is a weakly comic splatter movie oversupplied with jokey, cartoonish violence.
That's about as sensible as "Desperado" gets.
