From Dusk Till Dawn

Although I believe George Clooney has become somewhat type-cast, I still enjoy his roles very much. He is just one of the many stars packed into this film. And not only does it have a great cast, but it also had some great writers and producers. Both Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez worked on this beauty. You can tell it's a Tarantino film, because it's got a scene shot from inside a trunk like in Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, and Jackie Brown. Weird, huh? This movie also borrowed a line from Reservoir Dogs. "OK Ramblers, let's get ramblin." The thing about this movie that sets it apart is the changing storyline. The first half of the movie is about fleeing criminals and their hostages. Then suddenly, vampires appear and start chomping into everyone! A great movie. 5 out of 5.
