FROM DUSK TILL DAWN FILM REVIEW |
|
Energetic low-budget vampire nonsense from Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino. The latter also stars alongside Harvey Keitel and George Clooney
Tarantino and Clooney are a couple of ruthless bankrobbers who take Reverend Keitel and his children hostage and set off across the border to Mexico where all they have to do is last 'from dusk till dawn' in a seedy nightclub in order to make good their escape.
This Tarantino-scripted thriller turned vampire flick has an intrinsically low-budget feel, and seems a little uncomfortable about getting the high-budget treatment.
Yet a lot of fun can be had with the sharp-witted post-modernist dialogue, and the obligatory tributes to what seems like most films Tarantino has ever seen. Rodriguez directs like a kid in a candy store, relishing his gruesome special effects, while Clooney seems like he is on holiday and Keitel is clearly looking forward to his paycheque.
Alas Tarantino is the worst actor in the world and Julie Andrews would have been able to play his part with more convincing menace.
