This probably has a cult following and I can actually see why that is. From a filmmaking point of view this is interesting. But that does not make it a great movie, at least not for me. I felt kinda bored and the style I didn't like much, too.

A very entertaining directorial debut from one of the coolest directors currently working. **Robert Rodriguez** is known for his low budget efforts and for managing pretty much all of the production roles in his films (directing, writing, editing, and producing), and El Mariachi handles the low budget style very well. The gritty setting helped save money on set design, the obscure cast saved money on actors, and Rodriguez himself saves money by doing everything himself. I loved the musical segments and the performances, especially **Consuelo Gómez** as Dominó. If I had to think of any letdowns that the film has, it would be that the dream sequences felt pointless and did not build up to anything. Also, I didn't like the framing in certain close-ups, in which half of a characters' face would be cropped from the image. Aside from these minor issues, though, El Mariachi is a great directorial debut that brought credibility to one of my favourite directors.

Very disappointing flick: I watched this one after "Desperado", which I liked very much. But everything in "El Mariachi" is worse than in it's sequels: bad acting, a rather stupid story and boring action scenes are not worth your time. Watch "Desperado" and "Once Upon A Time In Mexico", they are the much better movies...

For only $7,000 is a fun and thrilling ride that proves you don't need a lot of money to make a good film. Just a lot of creativity and bullets.

Filmed in 1992 and being Robert Rodriquez’s film debut this is a film about a guitar player whom walk into town at the same time a gangster shoots up some dudes in a bar wearing same clothes so at first it’s a case of Mistaken identity but then I believe the Mariachi guy just kind of falls into More
