SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

rosadorico Dude Delaney (David Arquette) is seen as the town "lost cause". At least to his girlfriend Donna's (Salma Hayek) parents, and the town sheriff (masterfully played by William Sadler). But it doesn't matter to Dude since he won't run like his father did, years ago. So the sheriff sets his son, Teddy Leather(Jason Wiles) to finish Dude off, once and for all. Luckily Dude has some plans of his own. It comes down to timing, as Dude is in a race to make his dream of being in a rock band, even all scores, make his girl happy, and keep from becoming a grease stain. Originally released on Showtime's short-lived series, Rebel Highway. It was BY FAR the best of the show, and (in my opinion) one of the best film's to date. It contains everything a movie should. It has love, humor, violence, revenge, fast cars, and great music. Not to mention a cast that fits their roles perfectly. A definite must see for ANYONE who is lucky to track down a copy.

Michael O'Keefe A hip satire of 50's teenage drive-in movies. Dude Delaney(David Arquette)slicks his hair with two hands full of "grease", smokes when he's got 'em, plays a pretty mean rock 'n' roll guitar and hot rods his car with a beautiful Hispanic girlfriend Donna(Salma Hayek). Dude loves his rockabilly style rock 'n' roll as much as he hates his rival Teddy Leather(Jason Wiles). Teddy's dad just also happens to be the son of the small Texas town's corrupt mightier-than-thou sheriff(Willliam Sadler).Wild and head strong music provided by the likes of: Link Wray, Charlie Feathers, Glen Glenn, Charlie Sexton and Johnny Reno. I'm not an Arquette fan, but thought he played the role well. What can you say about Hayek...humma, humma, humma. Damn that girl is NICE. Also in the cast: O'Neal Compton, John Hawkes, Lance LaGault and Johnny Reno. A cup of coffee, a cigarette, a cheeseburger, fast wheels and rock 'n' roll...what else does a guy need? Maybe Salma Hayek!!

larryflyntdaman I'm glad to see that I'm not the only person that thought this movie was a piece of crap... Normally, I love Rodriguez movies and I generally love the 50's rockabilly era, but this was just a horrible waste of the actors' time. Salma Hayek really shined in this film(She'd honestly shine in anything), but all the other actors just didn't act to their ability. The story was worse than "Deuce's Wild", which I hate to admit is a better film despite how incredibly horrible it was.Is it just me or did this feel like one student film that dragged on way too long? If this was a 10 minute film I would not fault it as much. Maybe if it was a different director... But Rodriguez? The direction was surprisingly bad from somebody who usually sweeps the screen with smooth transitions and great tracking shots. This film lacks any creative vision that Rodriguez usually implicates into his films.No wonder it's not out on DVD... I'd want to bury this film as deep as I could.Only a film as truly horrible as this could bring me to such a question:What happened Rodriguez?

Tomsriv-1 The beginning of this movie rocked. It had good music and a fun tone. But it was ruined by the violent end. Rodriguez doesn't know how to make a movie without violence. It is to easy to end a movie with one character pulling out a gun and shooting everyone. I wanted to like this movie, but it just fell apart.
