Robert P @Superbad Sep 21, 2026 This movie is a 4.5 star Movie! See more Anthony S @RT76417613 Sep 7, 2025 Quentin Tarantino is stillborn without this film. Warren Oate’s performance alone justifies this rating. See it, love it, evangelize it. See more Filmgal G @Filmgalh Jul 22, 2025 The casualties are tremendous, the disintegration of sanity significant, and the satisfaction bizarrely high. See more Olivia J @RT02808372 May 31, 2025 I once read somewhere that this film was, as far as Peckinpah himself was concerned, his most uncompromising and personal piece of work. Over the years he churned out violent classics like ‘The Wild Bunch’ and ‘Straw Dogs’. But something about ‘Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia’ stands out as unique among the raw, bloody filmography of the hard living director. It may well be a visceral and committed central performance by character actor Warren Oates, who’s emotionality and energy enrapture the viewer and place the audience firmly on the character’s side. There is brutality, violence, passion, and love in this film. Seemingly all characteristics of the director himself. The piece features one of my favourite gunfights in cinema history, and a fantastic scene of Oates having a depraved conversation with a rapidly decaying head in a burlap sack. Though lesser known than ‘The Wild Bunch’ or ‘Straw Dogs’, I count this as my favourite Peckinpah film, and as far as I’m concerned it’s the last word in American hardboiled 70s action.

See more Dave S @RT68722908 Apr 18, 2024 Set in modern-day Mexico, Bennie (Warren Oates), a piano player in a dive bar, and his girlfriend Elita (Isela Vega) embark on a cross-country road trip to recover the body and collect the bounty on a man who impregnated the daughter of a ruthless mob boss. Immediately identifiable as a Sam Peckinpah movie, Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia is filled with plenty of gratuitous violence and nudity, essentially distracting the viewer from the fact that it’s not a very good movie, paling in comparison to his early works like The Wild Bunch and Straw Dogs. While Oates does his best in the lead role, the movie is filled with bad acting, horrible dialogue, lots of repetitive slow-motion deaths, and inconsistent editing. The story itself is interesting, but not interesting enough to recommend watching the movie. See more Read all reviews
