This movie rocked. I don't know how I missed seeing this one but it was major influenced by Natural Born Killers, True Romance and even smatterings of Pulp Fiction but this one can hold its own.
Javiar Bardem hooks up with Rosie Perez to commit awful crimes together. He is heavy into voodoo rituals and chums with Screamin' Jay Hawkins who plays his voodoo helper. Rosie meets him and the two instantly hit it off. The two of them end up kidnapping a young American couple and bringing them along for a job he's got going involving a truckload of fetuses in jars.
This flick is soaked with seedy characters. The one who steals the show though is James Gandolfini. He plays the detective who's been after Bardem and keeps pursuing him no matter what happens. He gets hit by cars, thrown off of trucks, punched and shot.
Make sure you watch the 2 hour 5 minute version which is the longest as the other prints might be missing the good stuff. Most of the content is disturbing as they each rape the couple they take hostage and randomly kill throughout the film. Mobsters, drug dealers, assassins and scumbags all get in the way of Perdita Durango and her voodoo boyfriend which Bardem plays to a tee. Just an awesome flick. You have to watch this one.
