In the 1950s, Dude Delaney (David Arquette) is a guitar-playing drifter who wanders into a quiet town looking to play music and generally cause trouble, much to the chagrin of the local sheriff (William Sadler). While palling around with his B-movie-obsessed friend, Nixer (John Hawkes), Dude meets a beautiful woman by the name of Donna (Salma Hayek), and is offered a position in a rockabilly band, but the sheriff is intent on getting rid of him by any means necessary.

R.L. Shaffer IGN DVD 04/18/2012
8/10
A slick, fast-paced greaser picture that shows off the incredible talent of director Robert Rodriguez. Go to Full Review Adam Lippe Examiner.com 11/22/2011
Rodriguez said that he cast Arquette for the "good sleaze factor." Arquette's constant sneer throughout the film proves that Rodriguez was absolutely right. Go to Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com 02/14/2009

A trifle, but a fun and engaging one at that. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Steve D 02/19/2023 Style over substance but great style. See more 08/07/2018 Annoyingly SLOW and disjointed. See more 02/20/2017 Pretty great little greaser throwback. It's an early one in Rodriguez's career, so his frenetic style is really transparent, but it fits this story well. It was a lot of fun. See more 03/20/2015 Suffers from the one thing an action/thriller should never be....dull. See more 01/16/2015 Almost unwatchable. I love the filmmaker as much as I do any, and can barely stomach this one. See more 10/16/2014 though through its cynicism it clearly shows why movies like American Grafitti are bad, and a strong supporting scene stealing performance from Jahn Hawkes, the film is predictable and pointless.
