Garcia...a study in depravity
By barrywom from irvine , 09 May 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
This Peckinpah movie is based on a simple premise. Alfredo Garcia gets a young woman pregnant, her father orders his head on a plate.
What follows is a study of life at the lowest end of the scale. Warren Oates was never better in playing the role of Bennie, a lowfife, who happens to know where Garcia is.
The film has its faults, and Peckinpah does display some bad days on set, but overall this is a remarkably fine piece of filmmaking by any standard.
The movie is deliberately uncomfortable to watch at times, and Oates does take you on an amazing journey, not only through Peckinpah's head, but through a mexico that has never been captured better.
Not a bag of laughs, but an extraordinary work by an extraordinary director and an astonishing acting display by an actor fully believing in this project.- Was this review helpful to you?

(23)stomach churning
By ChefMaria (20 reviews) from London , 12 Oct 2012Not a movie for everyone but one that Peckinpah fans will appreciate as there is no talent lost here.
Warren Oats stars as the main character seeking the head of a man who seduced the daughter of a wealthy mexican willing to pay one million dollars.
Gruesome and filled with sickly revolting detail and obsessed by violence Peckinpah delivers a stomach churning film filled with psychoanalysis.- Was this review helpful to you?

Seedy and sweaty but not in a sexy way.....
By a customer , 02 Aug 2011Warren Oates is cool- look him up in Dillinger. Is this a mysogonistic film? i dont think so - i think its more about what fools most men are and the terrible way they act. Thats a fact and i'm a man.- Was this review helpful to you?

Vintage Peckinpah
By Minopater (257 reviews) from Wallington , 05 Nov 2010Although still entertaining and gripping the film has now started to show its age. The gunfight scenes in particular would be staged so much better today. Nevertheless it's a worthwhile watch.- Was this review helpful to you?

Bonce upon a time in Mexico!
By PJshadow (199 reviews) from Leeds , 21 Jun 2010[Highly rated reviewer]
Booze, bullets, and bad language aplenty in this low budget cult classic.
A big time gangster's request for the head of the man who has wronged him leads to a road trip from hell for piano playing loser Bennie.
Good but not great.- Was this review helpful to you?
