| Description: | The children of secret-agent parents must save them from danger. | Comments: | Robert Rodriguez writes, edits, co-produces, co-composes and directs this action fable about a couple of kids who unbeknownst to them have parents who are spies. However, the parents are kidnapped and it is only up to the kids to save them. The film has colorful visuals, fun action (not too violent) and is overall a good family film. BUT, the film is at a cross with me because Rodriguez has made some of the classic action films of the 90's (El Mariachi, Desperado, From Dusk Till Dawn), and it seems strange to me that he feels he has to take this step (kids probably). Not that I'm putting down his creative visual state for this movie, but when a name like Rodriguez comes up, and is as infamous with 90's indie like Tarantino and Smith, there's a bit of sadness. So while I do reccomend this film to kids and maybe even parents, the director's hard-core audience (which includes me partially) will be a tad dissapointed. Stars from previous Rodriguez films come in to play including Marin (who only has one role this time), Trejo (who actually talks, though this role tarnishes his knife man role in Depserado, Banderas who stars as the father, and George Clooney at the end (but no Salma Hayek!).
