After turning the independent film world upside-down with his inventive microbudget debut, writer-director Robert Rodriguez continued the myth of the mysterious Mariachi in the follow-up Desperado, armed with all the explosive pyrotechnics that Hollywood studio money can buy!
A shadowy figure stalks the Mexican underworld, travelling from town to town with only a guitar case in hand; however, what El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) has on his mind isn't music, but merciless vengeance. With enough bullets up his sleeves for every bandito in his path, the guitar-playing gunslinger has his sights firmly set on taking down a powerful drug lord (Joaquim de Almeida), but only the love of a local bookstore owner (Salma Hayek) will help the Mariachi get out of town alive.
With a rogues' gallery of memorable supporting turns from the likes of Danny Trejo, Steve Buscemi, Cheech Marin and Quentin Tarantino, Rodriguez's instant action classic blends American indie cool and Hong Kong hyper-kineticism with a Latino flavor firmly the director's own.

Guns, Guitars, and Ghosts from the Past - Desperado 4k Review
Desperado is a film that has been part of my life since my youth. I first watched it at 14 and was completely blown away — even today, I can quote almost every line. Arrow Video’s 4K release captures everything that made me fall in love with it back then. The stunning picture and strong audio pulled me right back into that feeling — I haven’t felt such pure immersion with that movie in a long time. For me, Desperado has always been more than just an action film. Even at 14, I realized that Rodriguez’s energy, his unique way of telling a story, and his true indie spirit made this something really special. In my eyes, it remains one of the greatest films ever made — and this release absolutely does it justice.
