This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Eric Roberts hits rock bottom in a small Mexican town. With no money and nothing to lose, he becomes involved in a murder for hire plot. The movie moves in stalls and sprints. When it stalls it is overly talky. When it moves forward it does so with twists and surprises. Eric Roberts delivers a great performance, and this holds everything together. The Mexican locations are another plus. Although the DVD packaging looks like a "spaghetti western", this is character driven with only sparse violence. I suppose the greatest recommendation for "La Cucaracha" is that it is different, a movie you are likely to remember. - MERK

Having only seen Eric Roberts in two films: Pope of Greenwich Village, and King of the Gypsies, I have to say I'm hooked!!! Why Robert isn't a star in the full sense of the word, I'll never know. La Cucaracha was brilliant, taking "Warren" through a journey of self-discovery with a little help along the way. The use of "magical realism" made some moments in the film puzzling to Norteamericano audiences, I'm sure -like how he survived the shooting or the drowning. Suspend belief, folks! I loved the various genres: film noir, dark comedy, etc. And this was clearly Eric Robert's film. He was entirely believable from the opening scenes throughout to the end. Robert has one of those faces that conveys everything. If it's true that the eyes are the mirror of the soul then his performance confirms that belief.The most comical lines are juxtaposed with tragic events: "Why is everybody so nuts???!" One of my favorite lines in the film.For all Eric Robert's fans. . .this is a must!! See it!

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.
