It's also a chick flick
By candeline from Winchester , 23 Feb 2006[Highly rated reviewer]
I'm a girl and I just love this film. I did watch it first in the company of a whole bunch of lads, and wasn't looking forward to it, but by the end of Steve Buscemi's story at the beginning I was hooked. I will watch it any time.
Yes, it's violent, but it's also incredibly funny. It never takes itself too seriously, and while it's slicker than El Mariachi, it plays up against those production values to great effect.How else would the full range of Campa and Quino's guitar playing skills be brought to life?
I bow to the majesty of Salma Hayek, possibly the hottest woman on the planet. I applaud the role of Quentin Tarantino's character. I adore Antonio Bandera's one-handed hairdo trick and his sense of just trying to fulfill his task - the killing is accidental. The details are great - Carolina's mismatched shoes, the tattoo of a lady, and, of course, Cheech Marin.
I'll take this over the far more styled and self-consciously cool Pulp Fiction any day, preferably with a couple of girlfriends who also love it.- Was this review helpful to you?

Bloody good fun
By Biscitt (1 review) from Oop North , 13 Jul 2011This is a brilliant film, something for the girls in Antonio Banderas, the boys in Salma Hayek, and a blissfully short appearance from Quentin Tarantino (I cheered when he .. erm.. exited).
It is bloody good fun, just turn up the volume and enjoy the ride.- Was this review helpful to you?
