September 18, 2009Once Upon a Time in Mexico has its great moments but it?s not as entertaining as desperado!
-
August 3, 2009An enjoyable cap to the El Mariachi trilogy that occasionally disappoints, but never mars the good name of its predecessors
-
July 30, 2009El Mariachi returns with an even more all star cast in an even more spectacular, spectacular, movie where the plot gets drowned out in the stylism. Lacking the cool factor of Desperado, I wasn't exactly sure what the point of this movie was, other than a chance for Johnny Depp to...( read more)

July 13, 2009Agent Sands: El, you really must try this because it's puerco pibil. It's a slow-roasted pork, nothing fancy. It just happens to be my favorite, and I order it with a tequila and lime in every dive I go to in this country. And honestly, that is the best it's ever been anywhere. I...( read more)

A noisy, unholy mess, with moments of wit and surprise that ultimately make its brutal tedium all the more disappointing. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Depp tosses off nearly as many deadpan quips as he did in Pirates and steals the movie from everyone else in the cast, including a rugged Antonio Banderas, who is perfect for the role of a man haunted... full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
After a while, Once Upon a Time in Mexico starts having the same effect as one too many tequilas: the Hong Kong-style stunts, the goofy wisecracks, the foxy presence of Eva Mendes -- all of it becomes... full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
Just as there are some sports teams you watch for the brilliant efforts of one star athlete, there are movies that rivet your attention when one performer is onscreen and go slack when he's gone. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Just sit back and let Rodriguez take you to popcorn-movie heaven. full review
