Once Upon A Time In Mexico movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: A fractured fairy tale for whom we happily suspend disbelief, right up to the best-not- believe-it 'The End.' Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: Even when Mexico isn't exactly making sense, it's still a blast to watch for its sheer chutzpah. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: ... this proves as the opposite of Cabin Fever, you can spill a lot of blood in a gratuitous, but very entertaining way. Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: Though this wild and woolly movie will please its core audience well enough, Rodriguez has the chops to do much more. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: A noisy, unholy mess, with moments of wit and surprise that ultimately make its brutal tedium all the more disappointing. Read more
Steve Murray, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: A lusty, zesty goof. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: A movie with that many freaks and creeps should be a lot more exciting than this one actually is. Read more
Manohla Dargis, Los Angeles Times: Its action often feels chaotic, simultaneously lazy and agitated, rather than choreographed. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: Depp, who looks and dresses eerily like Michael Jackson near the end, has an appealing breeziness. Read more
Michael Booth, Denver Post: Shamelessly violent and shallow. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: It's pop filmmaking at its headiest, maybe because it never quite gets outside the filmmaker's head. Read more
Jane Sumner, Dallas Morning News: Maverick Robert Rodriguez gets back to his old R-rated tricks, but this time he's more mature, stylish and bloody inventive. Read more
Ernest Hardy, L.A. Weekly: The movie is stolen by the gorgeous, droll and hilarious Depp. The movie crackles when he's onscreen and only fitfully sparks when he's not. Read more
John Anderson, Newsday: A movie that goes so wrong so abruptly it's as if a meteor were heading for the set and everyone had to evacuate. Read more
Bob Campbell, Newark Star-Ledger: Rodriguez's movie aspires to trashy grandeur, and achieves it. Read more
Jami Bernard, New York Daily News: Paying homage to Sergio Leone, Mexico aims too high and, in the process, becomes more like every generic, overplotted drug-cartel- and-revenge flick out there. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: A mess of a movie that nevertheless entertains because each individual piece stands high enough on its own merits that it's not necessary to look hard at the nonsensical linking material. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: I understood the general outlines of the story, I liked the bold strokes he uses to create the characters, and I was amused by the camera work, which includes a lot of shots that are about themselves. Read more
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle: Despite the movie's dark humor, violence and the occasional nonvoluntary facial surgery that will drive away the queasy, Once Upon a Time in Mexico is the most crowd-pleasing film in the series. Read more
Colin Covert, 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. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: It's at once busy and lacklustre, intricately plotted yet indifferently paced, handsomely mounted but made from plastic. Read more
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 by grief. Read more
Jessica Winter, Village Voice: Having already looted the Peckinpah and spaghetti-western archives, the director now quotes his own quotations, in service of not a sequel but a vociferous reiteration. Read more
