Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

An Exercise In Nonsense

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

i dont care what any one says about this flick. i think its genius, i guess if into guys and want to see antonio banderas, then watch desperado. robert rodriguez is great. i loved spy kids too and i know it was'nt "desperado" or "from dusk.." and its hole not whole.

The beginning of this movie rocked. It had good music and a fun tone. But it was ruined by the violent end. Rodriguez doesn't know how to make a movie without violence. It is to easy to end a movie with one character pulling out a gun and shooting everyone. I wanted to like this movie, but it just fell apart.

I am a Robert Rodriguez fan. And becuase of that (and Salma Hayek) I rented this peice of crap. David Arquette is one of the worst actors I've ever seen. The tone of the movie is all messed up too. Some scenes are supposed to be funny slapstick material but at the end a dude gets a whole in his chest courtesy of a shotgun. If you like greaser movies (God save you if you do) then maybe you should watch this. If you're looking for something like "Desperado" or "From Dusk Till Dawn" then steer clear. Not even Hayek can save this peice of dung.

I first heard about this movie from a friend who knew of my love for the 50's rockabilly era, and I must admit I had my reservations. David Arquette, the kooky 1-800-CALL-ATT guy, as a tough, ultra-cool 50's rebel? I didn't think it could possibly work. Then I watched the movie, and discovered just how well casting an actor against type can work. Arquette truly brought Dude Delaney to life, and he was also fortunate enough to be surrounded by a perfect supporting cast. I especially liked O'Neal Compton as diner proprietor J.T. and the always-dependable William Sadler as Sarge, although John Hawkes, as lovable 'freak' Nixer, stole every scene he appeared in. Salma Hayek did a good job of making me alternately love and hate her Donna. Overall, I thought Roadracers was a lot of fun - quirky, exciting, funny, and with a great rockabilly soundtrack that had me dancing in my living room. Bravo to Robert Rodriguez - go, cat, go!!!!
