Pros: Clooney, Tarantino, script, humor, gore FX

Pros: Excellent cast; some originality; a few funny and exciting moments.
Cons: Totally bizarre; extremely violent and gory; not very intense as a whole.
Summary: The basic premise to "From Dusk Till Dawn" is, "What if the tough criminals from brutal crime films found themselves trapped in a cliche, grotesque, horror flick?" The answer should be a great satire, but all we get is a violent bloodbath with a ... read more

Pros: George Clooney, Juliette Lewis, and Harvey Keitel; Blood, Gore and Vampires
Cons: Tarantino tries to act! Oh no!
Summary: Call me crazy but I had to be convinced that George Clooney was hot. What was I thinking, right? Alas, it’s true, for a long time I didn’t believe the hype. Why did I change my mind? Well, I watched Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez’s ... read more

Pros: Suspense, great acting, action, special effects, interesting, funny, campy & cheesy
Cons: The complete change in plot and genre halfway through film, could be more scary
Summary: I’m not the biggest Quentin Tarantino fan, or the biggest Robert Rodriguez fan. In fact, from what I’ve seen, I really don’t like either of their work, although I haven’t seen a lot of their movies. I saw Kill Bill Volume 1 and thought it ... read more

Pros: Salma Hayek is almost naked.
Cons: The second half has more plot holes than you can imagine.

Pros: Great Action Sequences, Good Performances
Cons: Doesn't Really Feel Like a Horror Movie... Is That Really a Con Though?
Summary: I've noticed a huge decline in quality in the more modern horror movies; modern meaning anything made later then 1995. I can't exactly describe it, but lately it seems like horror movie makers feel that they can be more successful by putting most of a ... read more

Pros: Well done and graphic gore, good fight sequences, Clooney, Tarantino, Keitel put in good performances.
Cons: Film shifts abruptly midway, slow start, Clooney seems uncomfortable in role at times.
Summary: What can I say? I finally saw "From Dusk Till Dawn" on December 22nd, years after it was released in the theaters. In fact, two sequels were made before I saw it. Why? I get tired of having my enjoyment of movies (at $10 a ticket) destroyed by ... read more

Pros: George Clooney blows us away in this plot-twisting action-thriller. Ensemble cast.
Cons: Vulgar language. Violence. Nudity. (most people can handle that)
Summary: Dusk til Dawn is perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime film anomaly. It starts off being about two brothers on the run from the law, but then all of a sudden it turns into a sauncy, bloody free-for-all survival of the fittest thriller.
It starts out ... read more

Pros: everything about this film is a pro.
Cons: none

Pros: All the senseless gore and nudity that a movie of the genre demands.
Cons: Let's see... none that I can think of!
Summary: The title of this epinion perfectly summarizes how I feel about this movie. See, when this was released in theatres, it was buried under mindless garbage such as "Hope Floats," "One True Thing," and many other movies that were chock full of all that ... read more

Pros: Great dialog, some acting, great special effects, action
Cons: Lacks identity, a lot of stupid lines, too gross at times, not scary, boring at times
