Learning that this film was done on a budget equivalent to $7,000 allows some pardon for this film being as cheaply done as it was, but it's not enough to call this movie good. The plot of this thing is as sound as any other action film, but the execution of making the film does not seem hardly worth the effort.
There is some salvation in that this sets up the storyline for "Desperado" and "Once Upon a Time in Mexico", which are both fun films to watch (especially with the films being done in English and starring Antonio Banderas as El Mariachi) and certainly more worth your time to see.
I still fail to see how this waste of film turned out to be a success. Perhaps it was more successful outside the US. Then again, it would be nigh impossible for a film of $7,000 to not make more than its budget. Still, do not look to this movie for true entertainment unless you enjoy seeing the cheapest low budget films ever made.
