Plot:
Seth Gecko and his younger brother Richard are on the lam after a bloody
bank robbery in Texas. They escape across the border into Mexico and
will be home-free the next morning, when they pay off the local
kingpin. They just have to survive 'from dusk till dawn' at the
rendezvous point, which turns out to be a Hell of a strip joint. -

Comment:
This movie is really out of the usual schemes (the touch of Quentin
Tarantino is quite evident) and this is a good starting point. The first half
ot the movie is great, it is both cruel and entertaining. However the second
half is a bit deluding as the whole story seems to degenerate to a plain
horror movie. It is nice to see how the various things happens quickly (eg.
the death of one of the main characters), the setting is really curious and
the special effects are well made.
The movie is also supported by a very good performance of both George Clooney
and Quentin Tarantino.
The ending is quite predictable as a whole but the details (eg. the last
scene) aren't so obvious which is exactly what I like.
