OUR WORD TO PARENTS: This movie fills more categories with the extreme and heavy ratings than nearly any film we've rated so far. Clooney gives a decent performance as the anti-hero and the end of the movie (battling the vampires) is an exercise in "101 Ways to Kill Vampires." Accepting that this film is geared for adults, and rating it with that in mind, we give this one a 6 out of 10. While some may immediately be turned off by all of the objectionable material this film contains, some adults will enjoy its "hells a poppin" attitude and energy. OUR TAKE: 6 out of 10 Beyond all of the carnage, profanity and violence, this film is always interesting to watch due to Tarantino's script and the direction from Rodriguez ("Desperado," "El Mariachi"). GEORGE CLOONEY and QUENTIN TARANTINO are both bad role models as they rob, kidnap and kill without any remorse for their actions.WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: R For strong violence and gore, language and nudity. Also the names of Clooney (TV's "E.R.") and Tarantino (the director of "Reservoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction") may draw some. WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT? If they're fans of vampire, or other such horror films, yes. Unfortunately the bar is also a vampire hangout and soon the Geckos and Fullers are fighting for their lives with the help of other interesting characters such as "Sex Machine" (TOM SAVINI) and Frost (FRED WILLIAMSON).
Arriving at their Mexican destination, a biker bar in the middle of nowhere, they settle in and wait for their contact to arrive. Disgruntled father and former preacher Jacob (HARVEY KEITEL) and his kids Kate (JULIETTE LEWIS) and Jacob (ERNEST LIU) are heading to Mexico to get away from it all after the death of mother Fuller. Luckily for them they encounter (and kidnap) the Fuller family. The problem is after killing so many people, the cops and Feds are hot on their heals and the Gecko brothers need a way across the border. PLOT: Convicts Seth Gecko (GEORGE CLOONEY) and his brother Ritchie (QUENTIN TARANTINO) are two robbing and murdering thugs on their way to Mexico to deliver a large amount of cash. QUICK TAKE: Two convicts kidnap a family and take them to bar in Mexico which turns out to be filled with vampires. (1996) (George Clooney, Quentin Tarantino) (R)
