Luridly earnest and laughably immoral, âIllegal Tenderâ is an old genre movie with a new look. Call it Hispanixploitation.

Independent film has a certain cachet, bringing to mind uncompromising, unkempt artists plumbing their genius to bring cold, hard truths to the corner cinema. Or maybe it brings to mind guys dressed as film canisters panhandling in L.A.

Rambo is invincible, sure. The film, however, is not.

If this were a Hollywood movie, the federal lawman would be played by an A-list actor. But in the real world, the marshal displays only the familiar, everyman face of U.S. Attorney General John D. Ashcroft, while the film might be a bootleg copy swapped illegally online.

Tycho:  "Live Free Or Die Hard" is a movie where a man drives a car into a helicopter, and that may be all one needs to know about it.  For some reason, regardless of what is present in the strip, I found myself quite able to place my brain in neutral and roll down the film's gentle, sloping grade.  I thought that Gabriel would be proud that I had done so, but he was not.  He held the film to some higher standard, and on a very specific topic - its presentation of technology and technology culture.  I know, right? Look out your window; there's probably frogs and blood and shit.
