Drake Sep 18, 2026 Love this movie. Brilliant viewing experience on the big screen with booming surround sound. See more James A @ablett001 Sep 7, 2026 Desperado makes no qualms around the job it is designed to do as a movie, and what it does do is actually very good. It delivers on being an action packed, tongue in cheek, over the top, violent revenge movie that is put together in fine proportions by Robert Rodriguez. Whilst you can question it's lack of depth around the storyline and characters, you simply cannot take away from how much it entertains and keeps you watching. A fine display all round. See more bruce C @bruce999 Aug 3, 2026 interesting sequence of events, as a guitar man with weapons. kind of violent. See more Chris S @Janomi Jul 28, 2026 Desperado is very entertaining because it takes the raw idea of El Mariachi and turns it into a full-blown action fantasy. Robert Rodriguez upgrades everything: the gunfights, music, slow-motion, violence, humor, and style all have much more swagger. Antonio Banderas is excellent as El Mariachi. He brings charisma, danger, romance, and cool to the role, making the character feel mythic in a way the first film only hinted at. Salma Hayek is terrific as Carolina, giving the movie heat, intelligence, and emotional connection, and her chemistry with Banderas is a major reason it works. The opening and bar shootouts grab the audience quickly and show Rodriguez at his most playful. The story is thin and mostly exists to move from one stylish confrontation to the next, but the attitude, music, and star power make Desperado a really fun action movie. See more Ryan C. @djrmc24 Mar 14, 2026 Desperado is one of my favorite Robert Rodriguez films out of all the films he has directed. The movie is fun, action packed, and never takes itself seriously. Also the performances are all so memorable. This is the film that made Antonio Banderas an action star. The movie’s plot is simple, Banderas is plays a guitar-playing vigilante, seeking revenge on the drug lord who killed his lover. The movie features plenty of action, explosions, and fun dialogue. This film is also a sequel to Robert Rodriguez’s first film ‘El Mariachi’ which was low budget. Check out Desperado! Desperado gets a high 4 1/2 stars out of 5 from me. See more Jerod S @jeroduptown Dec 24, 2025 Desperado is violent but not much of a story. Banderas and Hayek are fun to watch if you like it bloody. See more Read all reviews
