Movie Review by B Movie Ben
April 6th, 2007

A notable sequel

Sure, Director Robert Rodriguez created one of the very best indie films with El Mariachi on a shoestring budget. Now, with bucks in his pocket and a name cast, there is room for excellence. Some may say that the low budget effort is better, and I won't totally disagree from an artistic standpoint, but from an entertainment standpoint, this venture with Antonio Bandaras and Salma Hayek is truly a cut above many other films.

The state-of-the-art special effects and polished effort Rodriguez put into this film, make for an enjoyable and explosive ride. And did I mention Salma Hayek and her chesty chimichangas?

I don't consider this a sequel to EL MARIACHI anymore than I consider ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO a sequel to this movie. I think Rodriguez sincerely made three movies that can entirely stand on their own feet without the other stories.
