| Summary: |
From the creators of Pulp Fiction and Desperado comes this wild and wicked action thriller about two brothers on a desperate crime spree! Quentin Tarantino stars as a deranged convict who, along with his brother (George Clooney), kidnaps a preacher (Harvey Keitel) and his two kids (Ernest Liu and Juliette Lewis) and flees for the safety of a remote night club in Mexico. But once they arrive, they discover that the club is anything but a safe haven for criminals. Its bloodthirsty clientele forces the brothers to team up with their hostages in order to escape alive! |

short review: I think everybody knows this one. Me, I liked it very much. The film is kind of divided into two parts: the first half is some Tarantino-like road movie, while the second half is pure and gory - but highly entertaining - vampire-splatter. Thanks to the great cast (Keitel/Clooney/Hayek...) and the big-budget production, this is a really well done must-see for every fan of the genre, and the story is a nice diversion from the usual Bram Stoker plot.  |
