Ron G @RA_Geezy Aug 9, 2026 There's so much to unpack witb this movie. It feels like the director introduced us to two horrible human beings, then spent the next hour and a half trying to convince us that despite them being horrible human beings they really are decent folks deep down. Waaay deep down. Then, ending with one of those horrible people being the hero? No. The movie can't decide what exactly it's trying to be.

When my girlfriend at the time and I first watched it, it completely knocked us sideways. A brutally uncompromising assault on good taste and conventional morality. In many ways, it anticipated the kind of extreme violence that has since become commonplace in cinema, but unlike so many later films, it actually had a story. This is pure '90s filmmaking, and watching it today, it's hard not to marvel at how CGI and the internet have changed, and often diminished, the cinematic experience. It would be difficult to make a film with this kind of singular madness today. See more g j @g.username Sep 17, 2023 Robert Rodriguez-style roadtrip sleaze fest of the highest quality. This movie is great fun and the cast are really stand-out. I don't get why this isn't a more celebrated cult film. Really makes me wish Javier Bardem had pursued a shlockier career in cinema.

See more Jan 21, 2018 An excellent movie about the crazy universe that exists in the lawless border between Mexico and the USA. An allegory of all the violence, kidnappings, rapes and killings that happen hour by hour in the border with total impunity, showed through a metaphoric situation that looks crazy in a first approach but makes total sense when you are well informed about the things that happen in that frontier. Also very funny if you have a dark sense of humor. See more Dec 9, 2017 Rosie Perez stars as the titular character and one half of a couple who make the pair in Natural Born Killers look more akin to Bonnie & Clyde. James Gandolfini plays the cop in pursuit of these two Tex-Mex bandits. The duo practice an Aztec-inspired version of Santeria and are looking to up the ante. They decide they need pure-blooded gringos in order to sacrifice to their gods. Inspired by a real-life Mexican cult ("Los Narcosatánicos" - the same organization from whom Brujeria got their inspiration), they also trade in bank robbery, prostitution, drug dealing, and the baby fetus black market. Hard to categorize as it is a mash-up of genres; you'll find comedy, action, horror, crime, and romance in this boundary-pushing Spanish/English film. (Fans of Rosie Perez will certainly want to look for the Latin American edit.) See more Read all reviews
