What critics compared Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia to
Absolutely true -- the movie has the blood of Sam Peckinpah running through its veins (and I'm not referring to its violence but its lifeblood) -- particularly "Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia" and "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid."
There’s even a touch of Peckinpah’s Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia in its sweaty desperation – and in its violence.
He basically did that to Warren Oates in his later film, Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia.
Director
Paul Thomas Anderson
Critics compare Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia to 2 of Anderson’s films.
…a little bit like Warren Oates in Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia if Oates' character in that Sam Peckinpah film was an alcoholic USC film professor and a raving, saliva-spewing chauvinist dog."
…the stage is set for a gritty, grimy, no-hold-barred desert showdown in the style of Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia…

Take Bill Watterson's classic comic strip Calvin & Hobbes , mix in bits of My Own Private Idaho and Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia, then add some high-quality CGI to let the camera go where it would be physically impossible to fit.
