I really wasn't too interested in watching this one, thinking it would be another typical 'Making of
', with the only exception that it had feature-length. There were just two reasons I decided to give it a try. The first one is me being a bit of a Tarantino/Rodriguez fan who felt that From Dusk till Dawn was a brilliant picture. The second one was, that it was on TV and it didn't cost money and I could just turn it off when it became annoying without feeling scr..ed because I payed money to watch it.
In the end I was pleasantly surprised, because this was nothing like a 'Making of ' in which everybody is like: 'I loved working with ' and 'The story was just so great!' & ' is the best director I've ever worked with.'! I actually despise any 'Making of...' for being like that, because it is just propaganda to get people to see the film. Full tilt boogie on the other hand gives people a behind the scenes look at what various employees do on a film set and what can (and will) go wrong whilst making a picture, which is what made the film watchable. But it isn't without flaws. Despite being pretty interesting, I felt that I could have used a bit more background info about the whole 'union-thing', so I could understand it all. I guess if you're into Tarantino/Rodriguez, or if you want to know what it's like to work on a movie set and are interested in the basic 'who-does-what', this film is for you. Otherwise you haven't missed a thing.
6,5 out of 10 (with a 6 given upon voting, since this is basically for 'freaks' and fans only)
