The stoty takes off from and rehashes the second film with flashbacks including Salma Hayek , here El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) becomes involved in a twisted international intrigue involving a lot of strange characters such as : a crooked CIA agent called Sands (Johnny Depp) , a nasty mexican General , a corrupt cop (Eva Mendes) . Meanwhile ,a drug baron (Willem Defoe) is attempting to assassinate the President (Pedro Armendariz Jr) by a complex conspiracy . As Mariachi helps foil the coup'de etat .The time has come.
Thrilling action film with plenty of shootouts , explosion , some hilarious touches and lots of violence . It takes parts here and other of other films, and also influenced by Sam Pekinpah , Jackie Chan and Mad Max, too .More a sequel than a loose , biggest budget remake to The Mariachi, this third installment feature may be a rambling derivative exercice in gratuitous violence , but anyway it results to be a gleeful entertainment and really amusing . Motifs and plot points are hardly explained and certain roles are extremely ridiculous and so sketchly drawn that it is difficult to work out why they are there . There is more than enough preposterous pleasure to be had from Rodriguez's expertise with the action set-pieces and absurdist approach to the story's mythical aspirations .This one belongs to Robert Rodriguez's Mariachi trilogy formed by El Mariachi 1992 with Carlos Gallardo, Consuelo Gómez , followed by Desperado 1995 with Antonio Banderas , Salma Hayek , Cheech Marin, Quentin Tarantino ,Steve Buscemi , Joaquin de Almeida , and this one that has a good main and support cast . As it turns out to be an Antonio Banderas recital, as he runs, bounds , shoots and sings splendidly . Accompanied by Johnny Depp as a psychotic CIA agent who becomes a pawn in in drug lord Willem Defoe's bigger scheme and Ruben Blades as a FBI retired agent . While Marco Leonardi and Enrique Iglesias play two Mariachis who join Banderas to carry out a slaughter against villainous people.
This self-indulgent mess was well made by Robert Rodriguez who wrote , photographed , produced , edited , scored and directed in two months on digital video and starred by his ordinary friends and familar clan. Rating : 6.5/10 . Bloody good fun
