Desperado

I had wanted to watch El Mariachi, the first movie in this trilogy. I'd rented it, in fact, but . . . for whatever reason, the DVD would only play the director's track. Nothing personal, but I wanted to watch the movie, not listen to Robert Rodriguez. So, I had to skip El Mariachi, and moved right on to Desperado, starring Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, and featuring a guest appearance by none other than Quentin Tarantino.

It wasn't bad, but I preferred the duology of movies Rodriguez and Tarantino did together more recently, Grindhouse, Rodriguez's contribution being Planet Terror.
