Review of Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003) by Chris U — 28 Aug 2014
Agent Sands: "Are you a MEXI-CAN or a MEXI-CAN'T?". Now this is what you call a very cheesy movie. El Mariachi has retreated into a life of isolation. He is forced out of hiding when Sands, a corrupt CIA agent, recruits the reclusive hero to sabotage an assassination plot against the president of Mexico, which has been conceived by the evil cartel kingpin, Barillo.
But El Mariachi also has his own reasons for returning--blood revenge. This movie is so out of control and so silly but that is what Robert Rodriguez does. The characters are okay for the most part but Johnny Depp's (Agent Sands) is by the best character in this whole film.
The stunts are good but I think the villains could have been done better because there are pretty forgettable.
