With a bigger budget, Robert Rodriguez is able to fit more extended action sequences, gunfights, and explosions into his sequel to El Mariachi, but still maintains the same gritty feel. The film may be even better and more complete than El Mariachi and is, throughout, an exciting and dynamic film.

El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) meets Carolina (Salma Hayek). The concept was fresh but the execution at times exaggerated. Some action and coincidental scenes were at time ludicrous that one can't help be baffled. Score, direction were cool and acting decent. Banderas was believable and Hayek supports well, which shows their complimentary aura on screen. Action only picks up when El Mariachi ejects two guns from underneath his sleeves. Desperado is a fun crime flick that doesn't need to be taken seriously.

Who thought this up, an 8 yr. old boy? Entertaining between cringes.

If Quentin Tarantino, Sergio Leone and Sam Peckinpah held a discussion on a collaboration, Desperado would be the offspring. Slick, violent and gripping, Desperado is a sequel/remake of El Mariachi that is fresh and exhilarating.
