... Dusk Till Dawn? (1996) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116367/

I watched it by accident, about a week ago, for the first time. (Late night, early morning red beers and chronic...) It's a Tarantino film. Good performances by the main characters, including George Clooney, Quentin Tarantino, Juliette Lewis, Salma Hayek, Cheech Marin and Harvey Keitel.

It's a surprisingly good film considering its alt grindhouse genre, but then, I like all Quentin Tarantino films. I really think this might be one of George Clooney's better performances.

Not a film for everyone. Check it out, Warren...

Headed to the bottom of this thread to post Vincent D'Onofrio when I saw your post Samantha Mar 2014 #61
