El Mariachi
1992
**½
Director: Robert Rodriguez
Cast: Carlos Gallardo, Consuelo Gomez, Peter Marquardt, Jaime de Hoyos
Robert Rodriguez made his name with this cheap but expensive looking action film about a mariachi who is mistaken for a criminal. Forget the hype, this is a very ordinary and highly overpraised flick. Desperado and Once Upon a Time in Mexico complete the so-called Mexico Trilogy.
