El Mariachi (1992) is a Spanish-language American independent action film written and directed by 23-year-old Robert Rodriguez in his full length derictorial debut (the first movie of his Mexico Trilogy). The film's production budget is $7,225 (!), making El Mariachi the lowest-budgeted film ever to gross $1 million at the box office. I thoroughly enjoyed El Mariachi. First of all, I was extremely curious to see a movie with such a tiny budget. It turned out to be smartly written, extremely engaging and absolutely hilarious at times. It is all about expectations, so be prepared to a very amateur (but decent) cinematography, acting and "effects". I was still very impressed by such a cool movie. Production story is so interesting, I highly recommend to read some facts:)! Overall score: 4 (but again considering the budget and not expecting blockbuster)
