The brothers are on the run after a series of bank robberies and several related murders and are aiming to cross the border into Mexico to meet up with their contact Carlos. Seth is a man who happily shoots people who get in his way but isn’t a rapist – this makes him, in comparison to his brother Ritchie, the “nice” one. It starts with a hideously violent hold up at a liquor store by trigger-happy bank robbers Seth Gecko (George Clooney) and Ritchie Gecko (Quentin Tarantino). Actually, let’s just call him a rapist-murderer and have done, as that’s what he is. Tarantino’s Ritchie is horrible, creepy and stupid with no redeeming features whatsoever. He is just brilliant in this – he can play nasty (ok, nice-nasty) so well, his character Seth is morally very ambivalent and worlds away from Dr Ross (kids, before McDreamy in Grey’s Anatomy there was Dr Ross in ER, where gorgeous George caused so many hearts to start fluttering that if it had been set in the UK the NHS would’ve been bankrupted).

Not as irritating as John-Wick-should-be-called-Jon-Wick-as-his-name-is-Jonathan, but mildly irritating nonetheless.īut I’ll forgive that (waits for people even more pedantic than me – hi Mum! – to tell me not to start a sentence with But) as this is such a fantastic film. Ok so first off, grammar pedant alert, it should really be called “From Dusk Til-not-TILL Dawn”.
