Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia
United Artists

Crime Drama
DVD
D
Peckinpah wrote and directed this movie which was less violent in its first quarter hour than I expected given his reputation, although there is a scene where a prostitute is hit hard enough to drop to the floor and lie there lifelessly. This moment, by the way, is totally gratuitous, as is the pregnant girlfriend (?) of Alfredo Garcia having her dress half ripped off by her father's goons in front of what I assume is her entire extended family. So, yeah, I'm impressed Sam reached the level of a D, but I won't expect him always to.
