Desperado
Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) plunges headfirst into the dark border underworld when he follows a trail of blood to the last of the infamous Mexican drug lords, Bucho (Joaquim de Almeida), for an action-packed, bullet-riddled showdown.
With the help of his best friend (Steve Buscemi) and a beautiful bookstore owner (Salma Hayek), the Mariachi tracks Bucho, takes on his army of desperados, and leaves a trail of blood of his own.
Critic Reviews:

- " “Desperado is filled with an undeniable enthusiasm that makes its faults easier to ignore.” " – Tim Stevens
- " There is a cool factor of it all filling every corner, crease, and crack with many traits that are downright sexy. " – Don Shanahan
