Desperado

CriticsCritics: 63
AudienceAudience: 7.3

A wandering musician follows a trail of violence through a border town as he seeks the drug lord he holds responsible for a devastating loss. With help from a bookstore owner and a trusted friend, he faces the crime boss’s armed crew in a fast-moving quest for revenge.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like exaggerated shootouts, dry humor, and a modern Western feel, as in Machete; Not for you if you want a complex story or restrained violence.
