Can't believe what everyone tells you
I heard from so many people that this movie was horrible. Well I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I really liked the flashbacks to the legend of the gun and it was just a very fun movie to watch. I highly recommend it!

Once Upon a Time in Mexico
This movie got some attention since it has two big Hollywood stars in it, Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts. However, it`s not too enticing or convincing, just a merely entertaining mix with bits of romantic comedy, thriller, road movie, action and an offbeat feel that tries to reach cult status. It`s a decent effort, but the characters aren`t very intriguing (Pitt plays a dumb pretty boy, Roberts is in another bland role and only James Gandolfini, the best element here, truly convinces as an interesting gay hitman), the plot is full of ups and downs and it runs for way too long. At parts it even comes close to Tarantino/ Robert Rodriguez territory, yet as a whole it`s too muddled and uneven to suceed. Director Gore Verbinski offers a couple of nice shots of Mexico with good atmosphere and an appropriatte soundtrack, making for a mildly enjoyable cinematic experience. Still, this is just fast-food cinema overall. Not memmorable, but worth watching once.
A decent rental.

A miracle
So here we have this great mix of Brad Pitt, which is one of the greatest actors around (not just a pretty face..he is a wonderful actor and there is no doubt about that ) and Julia Roberts which has earned her reputation(and is really looking good) and does a great job in this incredible movie. I think the script was well written..the dialogues were fun and well developed, making sense as you follow along.
The settings for this movie coudn't be more accurate and precise for it truly represents an ambience of what "The Mexican" is.
It's just a simple movie but it has a certain charm that atracted me , because all the elements blend in together and gives you the final result: Fun,romance,excitement and action!
Let's not forget the soundtrack which is well balanced within each scene and really does the work in creating an enviroment and even brings up emotions within each part. It's easy to identify with the characters and the way they interact with each other.
I recomend this movie 100%..it's worth a look. Maybe people were expecting a different movie due to the cast.. it may not be revolutionary..but it sure is a respectable work of art.
