Desperado - 4

This is the more popular cult classic within this trilogy (El Mariachi and Once Upon a Time in Mexico). The main character in this film is played by Antonio Banderas. The premise of this film is that the revenge from the first one didn't take. The man that was suppose to be dead from the first film survives and hires goons to try to kill El Mariachi. He finds sanctuary and love in Carolina's (played by Salma Hayek) bookstore. It burns down and there is much explosions and dead bodies as they are finally able to escape and kill the head honcho. In the tradition of these films the plot is not that difficult to follow and the ending has to be somewhat surprising only because you are not given enough information to figure it out. Ultimately the violence in this film is too much to be believable, basically a small town is completely whipped out, with the response of "oh well." The special effects are really good, but considering the story it is really the worst of the three.
