Our take on From Dusk Till Dawn

Robert Rodriguez's 1996 genre collision starts as a lean crime thriller and detours somewhere far stranger. The Gecko brothers, fresh off a kidnapping, drag a father and his two children south to a grimy Mexican bar whose regulars turn out to be anything but ordinary. The switch from tense pursuit to gleering horror is the whole point, and your tolerance for that whiplash will decide how much fun you have. It's brash, bloody and pulpy by design, more interested in attitude than depth. Best suited to viewers who like their action laced with dark comedy and don't mind a movie that refuses to stay in one lane.
