Continue to watch this series by Robert Rodriguez.

The story of the film immediately follows the previous one. Become a killer singer, looking for the boss of the previous episode.

Objectively speaking, the story of the film is very dull and nothing new. The basic mode is similar to the previous one. Bars, drug lords, women, Mexican towns, these are still the elements. There will still be a woman in the story who will always come to save him and love him. There is no deep theme in the film, revenge for revenge. I don’t know the end of the film. The killing of brothers is of great significance. Is it to punish evil and righteously destroy relatives? When it was the end of the film, I was even more confused. The actor of the leading actor appeared again in the last episode, but this time he played another role. Seeing me in the mist, why did the actor from the previous episode appear in this episode? Either you let him continue to play the male number one, or don't let him appear on the stage. This arrangement will only make the audience confused about whose story the movie is telling. The image style of the film is not the same as the previous film, it has a unique style. Become popular and have no characteristics.

Compared with the previous story, the only remaining advantages are the funny scenes interspersed from time to time, and the gun battles one after another. The shootout shots in the film are very much like a Hong Kong-made shootout film in the 1980s. The hero in the film seems to be the Mexican version of Chow Yun-fat. The guns are impressive. There are a few pieces of music in the film that are very pleasant, which can also be counted as a bit. It is probably the work of Robert Rodriguez.

The actors in this episode are familiar faces from Robert Rodriguez's films, such as the bartender in the bar, the killer with a throwing knife, and of course the ruffian Quentin Tarantino. The choice of male and female protagonists is very good, the male protagonist Antonio Banderas is handsome and the female protagonist is sexy and charming. The type of handsome guy with pretty girl. It can be seen that when Robert Rodriguez made this movie, he had sufficient funds.

Generally speaking, this one is not as amazing as the previous one, and it is reduced to mediocrity.

    It seems that I only have two mental states of "fuck" and "hahaha". Although it is a blind film, the familiar dark humorous tone at the beginning made me instantly aware of the elements. When I saw that the title was originally from Quentin's old partner Rodriguez. The action scenes are completely groundbreaking, with an extreme look and feel, transcending the text and returning to the visual itself, which effectively elevates the effectiveness of the image. The whole process is high-energy, and there is not a single place. The setting of the guitar case is also iconic now, a guitar against thousands of gunfire, can't help but think of the song "Anyone Can Play Guitar". Rodriguez's skill in designing characters is too strong. The black boss wipes his cheeks with a match to light a cigarette, and the beautiful woman crosses the road and the car collides with it. Such a humorous creativity is unique in the history of crime films. The supporting characters in the film were either shot in the head or smashed into a sieve by bullets, and they all died neatly. It is a good habit to make up the knife, I hope the screenwriter knows it. The villain supported 10% of the health bar and climbed up to dry up the protagonist. Creating this kind of plot is to insult the audience's IQ.
