——From Dusk Till Dawn——

(C+)

You haven’t really lived until you’ve seen this film. It’s not like it is any good or anything like that, but it is so bizarre, and the tone of the movie changes so unexpectedly that you have to see it just to say you have. That starts as a fugitive bank robbers on the loose running for the border movie turns into a freak-out the strippers are really vampires gore-fest. The dialog isn’t really that great half the time (even though it is written by Quentin Tarantino) and the plot is fucked up to the max (why does a vampire turn into a rat monster?) but it does have a few good moments, and is so messed up that you’ll want to watch it at least once in your life, even if you never end up watching it again. The effects are pretty good for those who care, and it has some good actors in it, even if they aren’t really giving their best performances. But still, it’s messed up, which should make you all want to see it. But then again, if you want to see a really great messed up Rodriguez movie, go see Once Upon a Time in Mexico instead (see below).
