After watching El Rey's "Rebel Without a Crew", I decided to watch all 5 movies, produced by Robert Rodriguez, on a tiny $7,000 budget (similar to how he made his 1st feature, El Mariachi) and write reviews as I watch each one. I have to admit, this movie had a lot of unnecessary "fluff" and "padding" time where nothing crucial to the plot is happening. Its dull and quite BORING most of the time (extended disco dance scenes...Zzz). I really was rooting for all these filmmakers to knock it out of the park, but director Scarlet Moreno really needs to learn about proper storytelling and pacing. At 98 Minutes it FEELS like a very drawn out 3 hour film. I can forgive some of this given the minuscule budget, but having watched 'Good Exorcist' done on the same budget by one of Scarlet's fellow first time filmmakers..there's really no excuse.
