Occasionally hits heights worthy of its Sergio Leone-inspired title ... but its manic invention exhausts more than enthralls.

To be fair, Rodriguez's wicked dialogue does elicit some laughs amongst the on-screen carnage.

A splendid cast and spectacular orgies of carnage combine to produce a surprisingly creaky, labored, and boring movie.

Over the top and all over the place, Once Upon A Time In Mexico is as unruly as it characters: joyously style-driven as a Bond movie but with its own set of style guidelines.

Once Upon a Time in Mexico is the film I've wanted to see from Robert Rodriguez since he made Desperado in 1995.

Once Upon a Time in America is an action packed western fairy tale. It may not make much sense... but then, it doesn’t have to.

An enjoyable cap to the El Mariachi trilogy that occasionally disappoints, but never mars the good name of its predecessors

Assumindo as funções principais da produção, Rodriguez apresenta-se como verdadeiro autor de seus filmes. Pena que um não muito bom.

'One area Rodriguez has not managed to nail down is telling a compelling narrative.'

God bless Johnny Depp. For the second time this year, the man has almost single-handedly redeemed an action movie that would otherwise be indistinguishable from the pack.
