Viewing Notes

Man. I had high hopes for this. Ok, maybe not THAT high, but still.

The introductory scene is fucking brilliant and comes off the way the whole rest of the movie should have; as a throwback to the grindhouse days replete with scratchy film and washed out color, over-the-top violence and gratuitous nudity.

If only the rest of the movie were as good. That’s not to say it’s terrible, but really, it could have been better. It comes across as an idea that never really got properly fleshed out.

Not that this should come as a surprise to anyone. Most of Rodriguez’s films are one-trick ponies. Sometimes they work, and sometimes they don’t.

Aside from Danny Trejo, Jeff Fahey probably has the best role in the movie. I liked his character a lot.

Most of the rest of the cast is too cutout to do much here.
