With this sequel to his prize-winning independent previous film, "El
Mariachi," director Robert Rodriquez joins the ranks of Sam Peckinpah
and John Woo as a master of slick, glamorized ultra-violence. We pick up
the story as a continuation of "El Mariachi," where an itinerant
musician, looking for work, gets mistaken for a hitman and thereby
entangled in a web of love, corruption, and death. This time, he is out
to avenge the murder of his lover and the maiming of his fretting hand,
which occurred at the end of the earlier movie. However, the
plot is recapitulated, and again, a case of mistaken identity leads to a very high body count, involvement with a beautiful woman who works for the local drug lord, and finally, the inevitable face-to-face confrontation and bloody showdown.
