Throw into the plot a ruthless drug baron wanting a coup
to rid the country of a seemingly honest president and you
have the potential for explosive action.
And that is what you get.
Once Upon a Time in Mexico has gunfights and explosions galore
and one particularly brilliant scene where a chained together
Banderas and Hayek swing down from the top of a hotel while
gunmen try to blow them away.
It is fast paced and runs its 97 minutes quickly.
Banderas is terrific as the man seeking revenge, although
Depp really is the star of the show with his CIA agent. Watch
for the dining scenes - they are excellent - as is his gutsy
shootout at the end of the film.
Once Upon a Time in Mexico is good, gory fun.
