Featured review
La Cucaracha - El Magnifico!
This is an interesting movie. Not the normal type of role for Eric Roberts but as usual, he does a perfect job.
Things start off interestingly with Walter running for the local cantina for some beer and it gets even more interesting from there.
Robert's character Pool seems a bit shallow at times and leaves me wondering about his wanting to be a writer. I wonder what he would have written?
Good movie - don't miss it.
