Rodriguez's second feature may be a rambling, derivative exercise in gratuitous violence, but its determination to proceed as if the word 'restraint' never existed makes for gleeful entertainment. Jan 26, 2006 | Full Review…

Mr. Rodriguez may be good enough to make a film about anything, but Desperado would collapse if its characters had to do anything but play with guns. May 20, 2003 | Rating: 2.5/5

What Rodriguez has essentially done in Desperado is make a slicker, more expensive copy of what came before. And what looked promising for $7,000 looks tiresome for a whole lot more. Aug 15, 2002 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Desperado, which is nothing but set pieces, snoozes between its scenes of carnage. Jan 1, 2000 | Rating: 2/4

Rodriguez edited the film himself, and his shot rhythms get better as the film goes along. His writing may fail him from time to time, but all is right again when he lets cinema do the talking. Aug 28, 2018 | Full Review…

Although expensive and shiny-looking, the movie is irritatingly fragmented into bite-size, or MTV- size, segments. Jun 8, 2018 | Full Review…

Rodriguez's follow-up is unquestionably formulaic but mercifully free of the flat dialogue and arch one-liners that undermine so many action films. Mar 13, 2007 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

A slicker, more expensive version than El Mariach, except that what was promising and charming for $7,000 now looks tiresome and repetitious for $7 million Jun 20, 2006 | Rating: B | Full Review…
