MIM Movie Review

This is an archive of the former website of the Maoist Internationalist Movement, which was run by the now defunct Maoist Internationalist Party - Amerika. The MIM now consists of many independent cells, many of which have their own indendendent organs both online and off. MIM(Prisons) serves these documents as a service to and reference for the anti-imperialist movement worldwide.

Desperado 
Columbia Pictures 
103 minutes, 1995

A handsome man, a beautiful womyn, dancing, Latin 
style music and scenery, hard rock riffs and lots 
of violence, so much it is humorous--these are the 
characteristics of a winning box-office hit in 
decadent Amerikkka. This is one of the most empty 
films imaginable. When WBAI Radio said it was 
"explosively entertaining," we have to agree that 
it is by Amerikkkan standards. From MIM's point of 
view "Desperado" is a huge waste of talent and 
artistry --all to say nothing.
