Once Upon a Time in Mexico
This photo of Johnny Depp will give you an idea of the ambience of the film. I saw the previous Banderas film, Desperado, and I sure don’t remember humor in it. But this one made me laugh out loud many times. It’s a clear parody, farce, and spoof of the first film. You’ll get your fill of the famous Banderas smouldering look and whirling high kicks while shooting thousands of bullets. But Depp is the real steal. His lines are completely incongruous at times (from some other time frame) but his deadpan humor and gorgeous cheekbones are quite a combination. Other than that though, the color of the film was not the best in my opinion and the plot was impossible to follow. So I’ll give it a 3 out of 5 stars.

Johnny Depp is about my favorite actor. Did you see Pirates of the Carribean? Pretty funny too.
Yes, I saw that too and he saved it. I think he’s one of the most original actors (plus gorgeous) going today.
