Blending wicked humor and shot in beautiful Cinescope, 800 Bullets is a hyper-stylized tribute to spaghetti westerns courtesy of cult Spanish director lex de la Iglesia . Young Carlos (Luis Castro), striking out on his own in search of his long-lost father, swipes his shrewish businesswoman mother's (Carmen Maura) credit card and sets his sights on Texas-Hollywood, a Western themed attraction that has seen better days. Carlos comes into contact with his alcoholic grandfather Julian (Sancho Gracia) a one time Clint Eastwood stunt-double who is still chasing his dreams of stardom amidst the arid dust of the Spanish desert. - Description
