| Once Upon A Time In Mexico Description : |
| With ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO,
filmmaker Robert Rodriguez follows the further adventures of
El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas), the guitar-and-gunslinging
hero who has been leading a quiet life, but longs to get
revenge for the murder of his love (Salma Hayek). When
quirky CIA agent Sands (Johnny Depp) roots out El Mariachi
for a special assignment, he comes out with pistols blazing.
Soon, a retired FBI agent (Ruben Blades), a drug kingpin
(Willem Dafoe), a criminal on the run (Mickey Rourke), and a
double-dealing federale (Eva Mendes) are all in on the
action, which involves a plot to kill the Mexican president
and shift the balance of power in Mexico. Handling the
writing, direction, cinematography, and just about
everything else, Rodriguez has crafted a tribute to the
spaghetti Western films of Sergio Leone by placing his
outlaw hero from DESPERADO and EL MARIACHI in an epic
setting populated by numerous characters. Although it can be
challenging to keep track of the unfolding subplots, the
scenes involving Depp's badly dressed secret agent are the
most intriguing and entertaining. Meanwhile Banderas eases
back into the lead as the vengeful Mariachi, and Hayek and
Blades make the most of their small but significant roles.
"...The joy that Rodriguez takes in each shot is
palpable..."
"...Mr. Rodriguez has a feverish, inventive eye, and
an ability to infuse digital video, so often flat and
grainy, with uncommon depth and luster..."
"...[An] entertainingly quirky film....A swaggering
fantasy that pays homage to spaghetti Westerns such as
Sergio Leone's THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY..."
"...What bubbles beneath all of Rodriguez's work is
an impatient joy in the act of filmmaking..."
"...You don't want to miss Depp in this movie -- he
knocks it out of the park..."
"...A sprawling actioner....With a perversely
brilliant ensemble cast..."
