Review of Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003) by Diego R — 23 Jun 2010
Overall, when it comes to a Robert Rodriguez film a movie-goer expects nothing further than outstanding action scenes. The director has a genuine talent for directing and lensing over-the-top action filled with over-the-top bloodshed.
The stunts, special effects and explosions all look spectacular! Once Upon a Time in Mexico is not recommended for those searching for a deep experience or an exemplary character examination. Instead, it's for those looking to be reminded why we go to the cinema in the first place: we indulge in the magic of the movies to be entertained! If you're able to overlook the glaring story issues, you will definitely enjoy this film.
The film's shootouts are as over-the-top as you can find. Despite the movie's dark humor, violence and the occasional nonvoluntary facial surgery that will drive away the queasy, Once Upon a Time in Mexico is the most crowd-pleasing film in the series.
