The mean spirited antics of Tarantino’s psychotic criminals are hardly as funny as he must think but Rodriguez directs with campy overkill and go-for-broke enthusiasm that makes Peckinpah look downright tame. This is a vampire blood orgy with southwestern flavor, loaded with smart dialogue, outrageous antics, self consciously hip humor, and bloodbath finale. Tom Savini and Fred Williamson co-star as fellow civilians in the bloodsucker battle, Salma Hayak is a stripper who dances with a boa constrictor, and Cheech Marin, Danny Trejo, and Michael Parks co-star. It’s two films in one: a ruthless crime picture out of the Tarantino playbook that takes a detour to a Mexican brothel that turns out to be a nest of bloodsuckers, joined in the middle with an abrupt transition that would be surprising if we weren’t all expecting it.

George Clooney headlines the picture as a charming and deadly bank robber who, along with his a psycho brother (Tarantino, overacting as usual), goes on the run with a camper full of hostages (single dad Harvey Keitel and his kids Juliette Lewis and Ernest Liu) to cross into Mexico.
Quentin Tarantino’s work-for-hire rewrite of a B-movie script became an instant cult item when Robert Rodriguez took the reins of From Dusk Till Dawn (1996, R), a gory south-of-the-border horror tale with a spaghetti western flourish.
