Possible spoilers ( I state this to cover myself )
This motorcycle western hybrid features gorgeous cinematography, which i was able to appreciate even though the video i viewed was a pan and scan monstrosity. (I'd love this on dvd in widescreen hint hint, Anchor Bay / Blue Underground are you reading ?) Features genuinely sympathetic characters, not the two dimensional stereotypes i am used to in films of this nature, and a wonderful opening song, which serves as the film's entire score. Yes this is an ultra low budget film, but one that is full of inventive imagery and off beat characters. The U.K band The Jesus and Mary Chain took the most striking of these images as the artwork for one of their singles, which is where the film first came to my attention. There is a quiet goodness to the motorcycle protagonists, (nicely realised by the subtle underplay of the actors) juxtaposed against double crossing authority figures, who are addicted and corrupted by their power, just as the outlaws are liberated by their addiction to freedom. Haunting and enigmatic, shows off the beauty of the Mexican / American countryside. Most poignant perhaps is the name of the outlaw's benevolent and charismatic leader, Waco, the coincidental significance of which was not lost on this reviewer. My rating 10 / 10
