This is the story of a man known only as El Mariachi, played by Antonio Banderas. He is hell bent on finding a man known as Bucho, who he blames for murdering the love of his life and injuring his guitar hand, preventing him from enjoying the second love of his life, music. El Mariachi tracks Bucho to a small town and we are introduced to Carolina, played by Salma Hayek. Carolina runs a book store and she too has no love for Bucho. She teams up with El Mariachi in the quest to bring Bucho to justice. There are many great secondary characters as well, from the man known as Buscemi, played and written exclusively for Steve Buscemi, to a bartender played by Cheech Marin.
This movie introduced me to both Banderas and Hayek, as well as director Rodriguez. I was unaware that it was supposed to be a sequel and was never lost during it, as it does work as a stand alone film. This movie is almost non-stop action and funny one liners. This is one of the best action films ever.
