Smoreni Zmaj The last part of Mexico trilogy. Robert Rodriguez, Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Johnny Depp, Mickey Rourke, Eva Mendes, Danny Trejo, Enrique Iglesias, Cheech Martin, Willem Dafoe... simply amazing amount of big names in it, yet movie is nothing more than mediocre. It is not waste of your time, but I wouldn't watch it again and I am not recommending it..............................................................

Daniel Dimov I am confused. There are too many main characters which are hard to follow. The idea of the movie is probably good but it's made bad. You will be confused between switching the main roles and basically in the end of the movie you can't say what is the point of the movie. Is it the love between Johnny Depp and Eva Mendes or the revenge of Banderas, or the rescue of the country or ... or... or... ten more plots. At least the acting is kinda good but if it has to be compared with other movie from the same kind it goes to the bottom, at least for me.The including of Enrique Iglesias is horrible idea... Why? This guy is good for a romantic movie not for a thrilling action. Just imagine Jason Statham in a dramatic romantic movie with zero action in it. It's just not working. If they wanted a good movie, we ( the spectators ) need more things around the storyline of the characters. Okay Banderas one is good, but Johnny Depp's?? It's not so clear what does he wants in this movie. I rate it 4/10 , there is a lot more that everyone wants to see in this movie.

Python Hyena Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003): Dir: Robert Rodriguez / Cast: Antonio Banderas, Johnny Depp, Selma Hayek, Ruben Blades, Eva Mendes: Third film in the El Mariachi trilogy is an action film about time and place with mystic bandit El Mariachi's reputation with a guitar case that shelters a very large gun. Johnny Depp plays a corrupt C.I.A. agent who seeks Mariachi for a proposition that will regard protecting the Mexican President as well as avenging the death of his wife. Directed by Robert Rodriguez who details the film with striking characters. Antonio Banderas returns as Mariachi whose guitar produces beautiful music as well as a parade of bullets. Excellent supporting work by Depp who will realize that his mission has been compromised and suffers consequences. While despairing, Depp deals with these consequences as a strength. Selma Hayek as Mariachi's wife is seen in flashbacks and is given an exhilarating scene where both escape while joined by chain, and both hurl downward using the chain in swinging momentum. Ruben Blades plays a cop avenging the murder of his partner and gets far more than he bargained for. Eva Mendes has a great poisonous presence ready to stick the knife into anyone who stalls her plans. Well crafted bloodshed and brutality yet it portraits the ugly lifestyles that likely won't live happily ever after. Score: 8 / 10

powermandan The last chapter of Robert Rodriguez's Mariachi trilogy has poor connections to the previous films, but has arguably the best storyline. This has everything that makes a movie enjoyable and ownable.In the most complex premise of the series, General Marquez has been hired by the Barillio Cartel drug family to assassinate the Mexican government. Crooked CIA Agent Sands (Depp) hires El Mariachi (Banderas) and retired FBI agent (Blades) to make sure Marquez and Barillio don't consume power. We get an insight with El's relationship to the bad guys: Carolina (Hayak) was Marquez's girl and she put a bullet through his heart, but he survived. He shoots her, her daughter and El, with El surviving. Two reasons why this doesn't work: first, our central character seek vengeance for the death of his loved one again, rehashing Desperado's storyline. The next reason this doesn't work is Marquez: where does he fit? In Desperado, Carolina is a young woman who works under drug lord Bucho and is one of his groupies. Did she know Marquez before Bucho? Carolina's death takes place several years after Desperado and the movie itself takes place a few years after that. Given the time frame and Carolina's relationship with Marquez and Bucho in both movies, it is hard to tell how it all fits. A similar problem was encountered in Desperado with El avenging Domino's death by trying to kill Bucho, who had nothing to do with her death. Anyway, throughout the movie characters are introduced and swerves happen all over the place in all subplots. There's too many to keep track of and they become confusing. I had to watch this movie a few times before fully understanding it. In a way, complexity like this is good. Many people criticized this for all the swerves and subplots, but I thought it was great. El isn't pushed down to a minor role like people say, other subplots just build later on in the film. Aside from the story, the acting by all is good. Johnny Depp steals the show, giving one of his best performances ever. He plays a charismatic CIA agent who plays by his own rules. He is totally awesome. I think they should have given him his own spin off. This was before he started playing the same dumb characters in Tim Burton movies. Depp is best known for a wide variety of odd characters, all of which are easy to play. As an actor myself, I can assure that the weirder and funnier and character is, the easier it is to play. When Depp plays Sands, he is a realistic foul-mouthed smart-alec. The more realistic a character is, the harder it is to play. Ironic.Another bit of criticism I'd give is the action. All three movies are best-known for having heavy violence, but this seems to take a back seat to Desperado. Desperado had phenomenal shootouts. This also has great action, but it lacked in the same raw and artistic action that Desperado had. it did not lose its edge, it just softened a bit. This rules!
