The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Rick Groen
Take nothing seriously - not the action, not the gore, not the plot, not the theme. Instead, view Desperado as it's meant to be seen - a comedy - and you're in for an unalloyed treat; heck, you're in for one of the funniest flicks of the year.
89
Austin Chronicle - Marjorie Baumgarten
A bust-a-gut film experience that reveals Rodriguez as both a stylist versed in the mechanics of popular storytelling and a maverick whose ingenuity guides him along a singular path.
80
Washington Post - Desson Thomson
The commercial transition has been remarkably successful. This is primarily thanks to Rodriguez, who not only retains the original movie's kinetic flair, but takes it further.
75
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
The camera loves Banderas -- a velvet stud -- as much as it did the young Clint Eastwood.
60
TV Guide Magazine - Unnamed
Unquestionably formulaic but mercifully free of the flat dialogue and arch one-liners that undermine so many action films. And while it lacks "El Mariachi's" naive charm, it's far funnier.
