Plot: Director Robert Rodriguez returns to the characters of his breakthrough hits El Mariachi and Desperado in this grand scale south-of-the-border action-adventure saga. Sands (Johnny Depp) is a rogue CIA agent who is working in cahoots with Mexican officials who've caught wind of a plan by corrupt military leader General Marquez (Gerardo Vigil) and ruthless drug kingpin Barillo (Willem Dafoe) to assassinate Mexico's president (Pedro Armendáriz Jr.). Sands needs to recruit a gunman to take out Barillo's assassins before they can complete their mission, and through barman Belini (Cheech Marin), Sands learns of El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas), a fabled musician turned vigilante with a remarkable talent for violence, and a score to settle with Marquez. El Mariachi is living quietly in hiding after the death of the woman he loved, Carolina (Salma Hayek), but Sands lures him back into action through the promise of a final showdown with his nemesis Marquez, forcing El Mariachi to retrieve his guitar case (containing a mighty arsenal) and once again do battle against the lawless. Robert Rodriguez not only directed Once Upon a Time in Mexico, but he wrote the screenplay, handled the camera work, edited the film, and composed the musical score. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Better than Desperado, worse than El Mariachi

The Bottom Line:

Featuring one of those Jack Sparrow like performances by Johnny Depp that elevates a mediocre film into something worth recommending, Once Upon a Time in Mexico is not going to be accused of being a great film but it's fun and full of enough winning moments to make the film likable; I certainly don't think I came out of Robert Rodriguez's film having learned anything, but I had a pleasant 100 minutes and sometimes that's enough.

3/4

Once upon a Time in Mexico is an exciting adventure movie with
Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, and Johnny Depp. However, this movie has a lot vulgar language and violence.

I only bought this movie because Enrique Iglesias was in it. It was a small part. Rumor has it, he didn't like his performance and swore to never do another movie agian. I hope that isn't true.
Other than that, I also liked Antonio Banderas. I am not a big Johnny Depp fan and thought this was too much about him and way over the top. Should have cut out the last few minutes altogether.
