 Be aware! June 24, 2007
Don't blow 35 bucks on this because it says it's "unrated", here. They're ALL UNRATED, and you can find the same thing for just a few bucks elsewhere on this site!

being a fan of the collaborative works of barry gifford and david lynch, i definitely came to this movie with certain expectations. i'm sorry to report that this movie was, for the most part, a disappointment. few hold up to the genius of lynch, so i realized early on that i had to let that idea go and just deal with the movie in it's own terms.
there were definitely elements that i liked. for one, i enjoyed the exploration of the dynamic between perdita and romeo and their captives. it was interesting to watch them get inside the kids' heads and completely tear them apart. i'd be interested in finding out what happened to them after everything was all over!!
visually, the movie was amazing. romeo is a villain that will accompany me in more than a few nightmares in the weeks to come. this movie definitely had the bonnie and clyde / mickey and mallory thing going for it as well, and who doesn't love a star-crossed love tale, right?
anyway, there were areas that severely lacked. the characters were caricatures, the plot was cliche, and the score undermined the movie. the things the people would say would make me cringe at how trite and ridiculous they sounded. everything always worked out a little too conveniently, even for a traditional action movie. gandolfini's hardened cop with the dry sense of humor, santos's hammy gangster, and romeo's studly sorcerer are a few glaring examples.
i'd recommend watching this movie if you come across it, but don't make any special effort. this is one where you're gonna want to stick to the book, perdita durango. better yet, read it along with wild at heart and the wild life of sailor and lula, and you'll find yourself in a world where perdita slithers through the story like romeo's snake skin boots.
A Piece of Trash April 10, 2005

This is the worst Bardem-Perez movie that I have seen. If the director De la Iglesia has some Tarantino influence, he went too far. It also depicts Mexicans as cult members and grotesque.It places people in the Caribbean speaking with a Castillian accent. A real piece of trash and mentally disturbing.
A Waste of a Picture December 16, 2004

This picture is a complete waste, considering it had nothing to offer, even the perversion in the film becomes trite and tiring, by the end, I had hoped that all the characters would wind up dead because they are uninteresting. The director thinks that he is being morally ambiguous by presenting Bardem as a villain who rapes and plunders all form of human decency but actually he is being silly. The film never knows if it is being a slasher film or a comedy, but by the end, who really cares as long as this disaster is over?....
 Brilliant March 21, 2004

This movie is brilliant! A superb and decadent chronicle of hispanic deviants fallen victim to an abrasive love and lust between each other. The best film ever released in the United States by a Mexican-American director and one of the biggest new-age cult hits.
