Battlestar Galactica - The Complete Epic...
Due to difficulties with a local P.R. Agency, my site and other I.A.F.C. sites are placing an embargo on news, reviews, and promotions from Warner, Disney, and New Line films. The ban will cover all future films and will remain in effect until the matter is resolved to our satisfaction. I appreciate the kind words of support in this matter.

Deep in Mexico, a stranger has come to look for a legend. The stranger is C.I.A. agent Sands (Johnny Depp), and he is seeking the legendary El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas), a man of legendary and mythical proportions who is known for his battles against evil.
With a military coup brewing, the Mariachi is sought to eliminate the cause of the threat and ensure stability to the nation. The coup is arranged by a general who killed the wife and child of the Mariachi and a deadly drug dealer named Barillo (Willem Dafoe), the stage for conflict is set.
What follows is a violent and often very entertaining series of events as the coup unfolds. Depp is amazing as his character blends the insane with the absurd and creates a character that is equally deadly and funny without ever losing the ambiguity of the character or his motivations.
Banderas is sold as the Mariachi who is driven by his desire for revenge while doing what is best for Mexico. His character is a folk tale that dispenses justice while fighting for honor and virtue like a modern saint. The intense action is handled well by writer/director Robert Rodriquez as he blends humor into the mix to create a solid third chapter in the “El Mariachi” series. While not perfect, “Once Upon a Time in Mexico” is an entertaining romp.
