Advantages: dubbed as the "mexican pulp fiction"
Disadvantages: thin storyline and lack of character history

...Cast : In desperado Antonio Banderas plays the Mariachi,, this is an excellent piece of casting as Banderas is superb, his ability to show sadness and anger counteracts brilliantly his more charming and humorous side ( reminiscent to zoro ), This portrays the character beautifully as he is not a natural killer and audiences can associate more with his history and purpose. Playing the girlfriend is Salma Hayek who was brought to the attention of the ...
...line does not require great depth and as a result will appeal to most audiences. Desperado is available at around the £10 range however I would suggest getting the box set of El Mariachi, Desperado and Once upon a time in Mexico to fully appreciate what Rodriguez has achieved. ... Read review

Advantages: It shows you just how bad hollywood movies can get
Disadvantages: It shows you just how bad hollywood movies can get

Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle is yet another example of a movie that has had a lot of good advertising but can prove a disappointment for some once you've watched it. In fact, I can list it as one of the worst big budget action movies I have ever watched. Why? First of all the acting was not impressive, especially coming from an all star cast, which included actors such as Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu, Cameron Diaz, Demi Moore, Bruce Willis, Bernie ...
...goes to waste. There is also the fact that the angels are not required to do much acting, mostly posing and looking pretty. Another thing that absolutely killed me when watching this was the lack of really good special effects as I had hoped it would at least have if nothing else. If the acting is not good in an action movie I would love for the stunts and effects to be great at least. The fight scenes and special effects weren't the least believable. ... Read review
