Desperado

Desperado (1995) is Robert Rodriguez's gun-blazing action thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Antonio Banderas stars as El Mariachi, a wandering musician whose guitar case hides an arsenal instead of strings.

He follows a trail of blood toward Bucho, the last of the border drug lords and the man behind everything El Mariachi has lost. Along the way he meets Carolina, who runs a bookstore in a dusty Mexican town — the role that broke Salma Hayek into Hollywood. From there it's a barroom massacre, an army of hired killers, and a score he means to settle down to the last bullet.

Rodriguez built this as a bigger, louder sequel to his shoestring debut El Mariachi, and the jump in budget shows in the cast: Steve Buscemi, Danny Trejo as a silent knife-throwing assassin, and a Quentin Tarantino cameo. Style runs ahead of logic, guitar cases fire back, and the blood spills to a flamenco beat. Stream Desperado (1995) online on iFILM.
