CARLOS THE TERRORIST is something of an avant garde picture from prolific Mexican director Rene Cardona Jr. It stars Andres Garcia as the titular character, a hitman who finds himself double crossed by his own superiors and going on the run after being pursued by various assassins and the like. It's a pacy little number with plenty of action dotted throughout, from car chases to shootings and explosions, and the biggest surprise is that there's no dialogue from the characters at all, just endless narration explaining what's happening on screen. This is something of a novel approach, one I wasn't sure would work too well, but work it does. Not a great film, and certainly poor quality if you can even find it these days, but an interesting one.
