Aroview: A cause celebre of low-budget film-making, this $7000 Tex-Mex wonder about a guitar-player mistaken for a gangster contains enough originality and excitement to fill a dozen of its Hollywood counterparts. Subtitled, but you'll hardly notice.

5 stars (Exceptional) ~normfilmbuff
4 stars (Very Good) A low-budget actioner from the low-budget king of special effects himself, Robert Rodriguez. RR shows us how to make an entertaining and visually exciting film on a shoestring budget. ~Tom H
3 stars (Good Enough) The screenplay has more intelligence and restraint than some of his later work. ~Tubbs
