This film continues the story of the no-name, solitary, brooding mariachi, whose guitar case is stocked with high-powered weaponry. The musician is in a sleepy Mexican town seeking revenge against the much-feared, ruthless Bucho, a drug dealer who once shot El Mariachi in his strumming hand, and killed his girlfriend. When Bucho hears that the guitarist is looking for him, he sends his men out to forestall the attack -- which leads to many well-choreographed and bloody shootouts. Will the Latin adversaries ever confront each other directly? And if so, who will survive? [More]

It's an impressive piece of filmmaking, but colder and less involving than its predecessor ...

Ever since I saw it all those years ago, Desperado has been one of my all-time favorite movies.

[Desperado] has gunfights galore... once in a while, we should all be able to enjoy a good action flick!
