Product description
Product Description
Leaping back into action, gun-slinging, guitar-toting hero "El Mariachi" is back in town in ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO, as writer/director Robert Rodriguez delivers the epic final chapter of his pulp Western trilogy. Now remastered in high definition for Blu-ray™ starring Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Johnny Depp, Mickey Rourke, Eva Mendes, Danny Trejo, Enrique Iglesias, Rubén Blades and Willem Dafoe, ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO is a full-frontal assault.
Amazon.co.uk Review
There's plenty of 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, blasé 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, tantalising complexions of Eva Mendes and Salma Hayek. For sheer trashy fun, Once Upon a Time in Mexico is a step down from its predecessor, but Desperado set the bar pretty high. For coherent storytelling, look elsewhere, but for action razzle-dazzle, this is your movie. Rodriguez's complete trilogy--El Mariachi, Desperado and Once Upon a Time in Mexico--can also be found in one DVD box set--Bret Fetzer

Antonio Banderas steps straight back into the Mariachi role, as if he had never been away. Johnny Depp has fun as the CIA agent, in a role reminiscent of Jack Sparrow, and Willem Dafoe is an odd but effective choice as the crime lord, bringing a real hint of menace to the role. Mickey Rourke as Billy was truly excellent.
Despite a great cast, the film has some serious flaws. In short it is too ambitious, and jut doesn't manage to live up to its ambition. There is a lot going on here, lots of subplots and ancillary characters, told with a mixture of flash back and straight narration. There are still plenty of thrills and spills along the way, as various characters wreak mayhem all around them with a variety of Rodriguez's trademark impossible weapons, and in the main this is an entertaining romp. But it is just a bit of a mish mash at times, and for that 4 stars only.
