I know it's his first film, and I know he only spent $7000. But still... How can Ebert say this is a good movie? It's pathetic, for a commercial product. Maybe for a family movie fest, featuring all the relatives. But the actors, other than the Mariachi, the joint girlfriend, and the real hit man, are so stiff and artificial that it was a pain to watach them. This "Moco" guy is such a bad actor that I can't believe the director couldn't liven him up any. There are a couple of cute scenes, but by and large this is not worth watching. I just had to in view of all the fuss everyone made. Don't bother.
