AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

SnoopyStyle Romeo Dolorosa (Javier Bardem) is a voodoo Santeria priest bank robber. He meets hardcore Perdita Durango (Rosie Perez) at the Mexico-America border. The two criminals connect for an odyssey of lawlessness. The couple kidnaps blonde young couple Duane (Harley Cross) and Estelle (Aimee Graham) off a busy street to be raped and used for sacrifice. Romeo gets a truckload of fetus to be used for cosmetics on their way to Las Vegas. They are pursued by DEA agent Willie 'Woody' Dumas (James Gandolfini).It's crazy. It's wild. It's also a mess. Bardem and Perez are simply superb as this insane criminal couple especially Bardem. The movie is filled with unforgettable scenes. It has some dark humor and some disturbing parts. Graham and Cross add a nice foil. Their fight is comedic. The chaos and insanity do wear thin after awhile but this is something uniquely memorable.

Prof-Hieronymos-Grost Bad girl Perdita Durango (Rosie Perez) meets her match when she teams up with villain Romeo Dolorosa (Javier Bardem), he is an all round criminal who is also the grandson of a witch, in his spare time he sacrifices innocents in a form of voodoo ceremony. Perdita wants to kidnap some gringo's, kill them and eat them, but before they do all this, Romeo is hired to steal a consignment of human foetuses for a criminal boss who wants to use them for beauty products? In the mean time though Perdita and Romeo take great pleasure in scaring the hell out of a young blond couple they have kidnapped, after raping their respective captives they are told they are going to die in a sacrificial ceremony. There are flys in the ointment though, an FBI agent Willie 'Woody' Dumas(James Gandolfini) is in hot pursuit.as are a bunch of criminals looking for money they are owed by Romeo. Yet another darkly comic thriller from de la Iglesia, Perdita Durango combines aspects of Tarantino, The Coens and even David Lynch into one crazy demented film. There are some aspects that are rather hideous, the delight of killing and raping that the main protagonists have will surely alienate the majority of viewers, but still I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it all the same. I usually hate Perez, but here for once she really inhabits her character to perfection, Bardem is also sensational especially when he does his "voodoo" trances. The film is uber stylish and always surprising, what more could one ask for?

maatmouse-1 This film came as something of a surprise. A friend lent me the DVD and this is apparently the full, uncut version of a film which seems to have suffered (as usual) at the hands of the overzealous censors. Leave such films alone! They stand on their own.The film begins with Rosie Perez and ends with her, telling a story in between of a priest of Santeria (not Voodoo, they are different religions) played brilliantly and with much glee by the extraordinary Javier Bardem. Bardem hooks up with Perez as they head north, through the American border on a couple of jobs. The first of these jobs being to conduct dark, Santeria based rituals with his friend. The second being to do a job involving driving a truck full of human foetal material for clinics doing cosmetic surgery and getting very well paid for it. The two also drag along a couple of 'gringos', a scared young couple whom they proceed to collectively seduce and later 'sacrifice' in one of Dolorosa's ceremonies. All this and they are pursued by a member of the DEA or James Gandolfini who seems to find himself getting more and more injured in accidents as the film progresses.The film is violent, no doubt about it and not for the faint hearted. It is also incredibly sexy. The director seems to make full use of the fact that Bardem is a bit of a Spanish hunk, him spending most of the film in leather. That said, Bardem is amazing. The sub-plot of him being a priest of Santeria gives the director an opportunity to film Bardem in full-on 'devil' type mode, spitting blood at people and throwing body parts around. Strong stuff indeed.

cycarax Well done technically, well made, well acted, but an awful, awful, awful story. The scummiest, skankiest, nastiest, cruelest, vilest characters with not a sliver of redeeming likable quality are the heroes of this film. The violence and rape is graphic and I got the impression was being rubbed in the audience's face. These are people you wait for someone like Clint Eastwood, or El Mariachi to come and blow up, but no such person appears here, because these people are supposed to be the heroes - the ones we are supposed to cheer on. I felt more compassion for Hitler than these people. I liked Dr. Hannibal more than these people. Someone must have sat down and tried to think of all the worst characteristics you could create in human beings, with the worst possible circumstances in which they could be expressed. Ewwww.
