what could have be an excellent hostage movie be totally ruin by what apparently look like a bored director . there be so many direction that the movie could have take . a vampire slash fest be not one of these . the last 45 min . or so result in the movie be an absolutely ridiculous waste of time . . and sex machine . . you get ta be kid me . the acting talent of the like of juliette lewis and harvey keitel ( not to mention george clooney ) be completely waste in this nonsensical movie . the director . robert rodriguez and know for his other gory flick include el mariachi and desperado and once upon a time in mexico and and the very recent sin city . really hold your attention with the well execute first half . which lead you to believe that you be in for an entertaining time . but then apparently for no reason and and without any provocation and the madness start . there even feeble attempt at parody and comedy . truly exasperate .
