This was the that convinced me he can act! This is also where Tarantino acted very well, probably the only one. The interactions between these two were so great, especially the scene in the motel where Clooney comes back to a slaughter.
I love how the film sort of slowly builds up in the first scene, explodes into a gunfight, then rebuilds into a vampiric action-horror-thriller later on.
Gotta hand it to poor ol Pete, he had some balls, taking on two armed psychopaths, actually managing to wound one, and that was after getting shot in the shoulder. Then to still come up blazing away (literally), shooting at them while in flames...a badass in his own right.
@@drewgrows7765 how do you know that he’s high on weed? I had a few thoughts of Pete being high but the reasons weren’t strong to confirm it to be true. I do however believe that he was chewing Tobacco because of his spitting through the scene.
Alcohol has been around alot longer than processed foods so it has its reputation. Processed foods are made to taste good so you are really satisfying your tongue not your stomach and it makes you crave more. Alcohol taste like shit and you can only handle so much. I know people die from excess drinking, but it's more limited than processed foods. John wayne lived on that stuff and when he died his colon was found with stuff as hard as cement. Most cancer starts in the stomach (I wonder why) and as it's name says it spreads like a fire being doused with gasoline.
Well, I don't usually go out of my way to spoil people's jokes, but the reality is that eating that kind of food, especially when you're overweight, is in fact far worse for your health than even weekly drinking.
R.I.P to Michael Parks(sheriff). Passed away 5/9/2017 at age 77. Very very underrated character actor. Loved George Clooney’s performance in this film.
From Dusk Till Dawn and Out of Sight were the first movies that showed that Clooney was going to make a good film actor. Prior to those films he mostly made bad films with Batman & Robin and One Fine Day.
@@oreochips21 I remember watching this for the first time a few years ago. I thought the first half of this movie was pretty good. that second half however........no. just a big fat NO. I honestly thought I accidentally changed the channel or something.
Seth wants to be an honest outlaw and a 'professional', but he has a tragic flaw in that his loyalty to Richie ultimately just makes him into an accomplice to all of Richie's unpredictable psychotic bullshit. It would have been interesting to see that dynamic explored further, but it becomes a different movie halfway through.
Yeah and let's not forget Richie nearly got them busted by the border patrol. Seth just knocks him out cold otherwise he would have gave them away. Thing to remember as well is that Richie was the one that busted them out of jail, so Seth kind of owed him.
I had to persuade my film buff brother that the words "Excuse me, Ritchie, would you eat out my pussy?" were 100% an hallucination inside Ritchie's head. He's still not totally convinced.
I remember rewinding this scene multiple times because I so wanted to believe Richie. He seemed like such sweet, innocent, good natured person who just happened to be a thief. Oh boy was I wrong 😂
Richie was a paranoid-schizophrenic, homicidal rapist. Nothing redeemable about him. Seth only tolerated and loved him because he was his brother. Nobody else could lol
I love it when Clooney says “you were scratching” because the hostage he’s holding starts scratching her nose right after he says it. Lol. I bet she was told to do that.
Having grown up in the southern US, I have to say Michael Parks’ performance is utterly flawless. He reminds me so much of so many people I grew up around
I saw this movie a couple of months after it had been out. I had never seen George Clooney before… Can you imagine my reaction to this movie? I was blown away by his… Everything… And being a Tarantino fan, there’s really no Words to describe how I sat the entire time with my jaw on my lap watching this movie
Then it wouldn't been a Tarantino movie. Similar scene in no country for old men but that is serious stuff. This here is differnt genre, Tarantino style loud music, blood and gore and dark humor.
I think that actor like "the sherif" (rip)... They do this kind of small and short interpretations... Because they just wanted like that... That dude was a hell of an actor.
I was 7 or 8 when this came out and I was allowed to watch it because I was raised by a wild pack of tweakers. It’s nostalgic to me and the soundtrack is as well
The way Seth and Richie argue reminds me of the way my twin brother and I get into it; he's Seth and I'm Richie (minus the armed robbery and slew of violent felonies). It's too real...
He was obviously schizophrenic but neither he, nor Seth knew it. I believe it made him do all those nasty things with people, like raping women, taking hostages, killing people and so on. I don't know whether Richie's worth compassion as a human being, but still, we gotta take his disease into consideration.
I know the sheriff in this scene is the same actor as estoban the pimp in kill bill 2 but he pulls up to the store and reminds me of the sheriff in kill bill 2 that pulls up to the church ...with all the sunglasses on the dash The store clerk was in the perfect storm with Clooney...
It's the same character. Tarantino has been riding the extended universe wave. All of his movie's are set in the same universe. He and Robert Rodriguez are homies and just play in the same sandbox.
I didn't know what kind of movie i was about to watch at the theater that day and i really thought it was just about crime and cops...rather boring to me, so how surprised i was when the criminals found themselves trapped in a nest of vampires. So good !
