I'm glad to see that I'm not the only person that thought this movie was a piece of crap... Normally, I love Rodriguez movies and I generally love the 50's rockabilly era, but this was just a horrible waste of the actors' time. Salma Hayek really shined in this film(She'd honestly shine in anything), but all the other actors just didn't act to their ability. The story was worse than "Deuce's Wild", which I hate to admit is a better film despite how incredibly horrible it was.
Is it just me or did this feel like one student film that dragged on way too long? If this was a 10 minute film I would not fault it as much. Maybe if it was a different director... But Rodriguez? The direction was surprisingly bad from somebody who usually sweeps the screen with smooth transitions and great tracking shots. This film lacks any creative vision that Rodriguez usually implicates into his films.
No wonder it's not out on DVD... I'd want to bury this film as deep as I could.
Only a film as truly horrible as this could bring me to such a question:
What happened Rodriguez?
