This is indeed the First installment of the El Mariachi series. However, this is the most "real" of them all.
The movie starts with a known drug lord and a vigilante at war in Mexico. The drug lord betrayed the vigilante and the vigilante simply wants his money back and he will go away or blood will be spilled. The drug lord is not going to comply.
Then our hero is merely a drifter who is just looking for work. Bad timing. The vigilante carries a guitar case full of weapons. The drifter is just a mariachi with a guitar. The mariachi and the vigilante also dress the same. Mistaken identity. Here we go!
The acting is great. It all feels so real. The story is pretty good. The action is the best part, it's not over the top. It's very good and feels real. Our hero is not a weapons expert, he has not used a gun in his life. He has to fend for himself. Well done. The dialog is good too.
The Last Word: Cool. The first mariachi film. This is the most realistic of the trilogy. The action feels real, the story is good, and the casting is great. Also the villain is just a roach. Entertaining.
