Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia (DVD, 2005)

I purchased this movie for a friend. He loves the Sam Peckinpah movies.

I have seen it, and its not one of my favorites.

But, he was very pleased to have it.


brunogs

got this for my son .he said he enjoyed the movie.I never watched it myself but hetold me he liked it

I was told by a friend it was a great movie about mobsters. But after watching it it really does not meet criteria for a movieis more for a tv 1/2 hr show.

From the very beginning of this Peckinpah classic you can see cutting-edge ideas and filming styles which have innovated many movies for the past 30+ years. The greed-psychosis-hypnotic state that Bennie slowly slips into is a gradual yet ever present force in the unfolding of this flick. I would DEFINATELY recommend this movie for ANY film student or independent director out there. The ending is ABSOLUTELY CLASSIC....The genius of something different,...should be emulated by any future directors or film producers who want to really make a film that will outlast 98% to 99% of all others...


I would give this 10+++(11) stars out of 10 stars.



Now, I know there will be cowboy-western flick fans out there that will balk at this critique, as they see this movie as the downward turning point in Sam Peckinpah's career (that is, in their opinion)....However, where many cowboy-western flick fans see confusion, unnecessary psychosis, and worthlessness in this film I found genius and inspiration.


I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS FILM!....ESPECIALLY if you wanna make or be part of the Independent Film industry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This film is everything that was right about 1970's cinema. It is a raw story with strong performances. An anti-hero who tries to grab the golden fleece and loses everything in the process.
