Simpler times. 90’s violence at its best.

Everything the first movie wanted to be! Great cast and fight scenes and just a stylish action movie to the boot!

Good outing for Robert Rodriguez. Fun stupid action.

Robert Rodriguez dark trilogy. Salma Hayek's debut to the series.

The bigger budget is an improvement for everything! I always like me some Antonio Banderas too

Probably the most famous of the trilogy, and the one I have the least lasting memories of, but I remember enjoying it enough

Stylish action with some very entertaining gun battles, Robert Rodriguez delivers a solid film

A staple of my action fun growing up. Maybe doesn't age amazingly but still proves Rodriguez the better half of the Tarantino directing duo.

It’s pretty cool and has really cool and likeable characters. Just the story isn’t all that great and without the story the plot seems mes

A thrilling, Spanish Western with amazing action and acting.
