Guns, guns, guns! And a few explosions as bodies fly through the air and crash into tables and fruit stands. Once Upon a Time in Mexico, like all Robert Rodriguez movies, is all about the kinetic kick of high-velocity action. Johnny Depp, blase and whimsical, plays a CIA agent who's drawn guitar-playing gun-slinger Antonio Banderas (long black hair flopping over his face like the ears of a Labrador puppy) into a ridiculously convoluted plot to overthrow the Mexican government. Along for the ride are a craggy-faced rogue's gallery including Willem Dafoe, Mickey Rourke, Danny Trejo, Ruben Blades, and (to balance things out) the smooth, tantalizing complexions of Eva Mendes and Salma Hayek. For sheer trashy fun, Once Upon a Time in Mexico is a step down from its predecessor, Desperado--but Desperado set the bar pretty high. For coherent storytelling, look elsewhere, but for action razzle-dazzle, this is your movie. --Bret Fetzer

The worst Depp movie I have ever seen. I have to admit, I fell asleep about midway through the film for about twenty minutes and didn't bother rewind it when I woke up. I'm just glad I bought this used and can return it.

The Good Things
*Very good video and sound quality.
*Includes a great deal of special features, such as commentaries, a bunch of featurettes, and trailers.

*Still well-filmed and well-edited.
*Great writing.
*Good acting; interesting characters.
*Good music.
The Bad Things

Anyone interested in how bad a $30 million film can be? Keep reading.
"Once Upon A Time In Mexico" is a blow-em' up, shoot-em' up fiasco, replete with an ensemble cast that fails to impress. Antonio Banderas reprises his role as El Mariachi (emphasis on the "El") and this time nearly the entire state of Mexico has a bounty on his head. The film's continued saga from the prequels "El Mariachi" and 1995's more notable "Desperado" suffers from cliché grandé, El now avenging the brutal murder ... Read More

It's hard not to see this as a let down following Desperado and given the additions of some big names, most notably Johnny Depp. However, judged as simply another high action low everything else movie, it isn't that bad. There's lots of explosions, shoot-em up scenes, and some over-the-top squeamishness, but there is enough left-over cool factor from the previous two to make it enjoyable enough. Depp steals the show and in hindsight, I wonder if this was a vehicle made more for him than Banderas, Hayek, or ... Read More

THIS WAS A GREAT MOVIE. DESPERADO DID HAVE A SPECIAL CHARM WHICH IS HARD TO TOP, BUT THIS MOVIE SORT OF TOOK A DIFFERENT SPIN. IT HAD TO - DESPERADO WAS THAT GOOD. JOHNNY DEPP IS ADDED TO THE MIX, AND HE MUST HAVE WANTED THIS ROLE, AS HE IS VERY PICKY ABOUT THE ROLES HE PLAYS. HERE, HE DELIVERS AGAIN, AND UPSTAGES EVERYONE, HE'S SUCH A BRILLANT ACTOR. IT'S A GREAT MOVIE. I CAN'T IMAGINE ANYONE BUT THE MOST JADED PERSON SITTING THERE THINKING - THIS SUCKS. IT'S LOADS OF FUN FROM START TO FINISH. THE ONLY PART ... Read More
