The Time Has come.

One for the books, yet another great flick from Writter/Producer/Director Robert Rodriguez finishing up his trilogy of "El Mariachi". This film fetures much more depth than previous installment "Desperado" yet they sink right into each other. Reappearing are both Cheech Marin and Danny Trejo (playing different characters since they both died in Desperado) to ultimetley fall victim again before the movie's end. Vengeance is key is this film much like the last, only "El" finds himself wanting more blood from general Marquez; the man repsonsible for the death of his wife and daughter. Only appearing as a dream sequence in this film is Salma Hayek, to help patch in holes through time. Done very well, setting up the way for them to fall, both the general after being betrayed by her and the mariachi herself; showing they were both left to die but never did. The conclusion was a bloody one, but this time "El" walked away knowing that justice was served; killing the man responsible for the death of his family by inturupting General Marquez's attemped Coup, as hired by drug lord Barillo. Thrown into play as well are CIA agent Sands as well as a retired FBI agent, A fleeing American along side Barillo, a psychopathic torture doctor, a kid selling gum who helps Sands See, more members along side the Mariachi, and of course.. A Whole Bunch of Dead Bodies. At only 102 minutes, this movies feels like it's alot longer; in a good way. Enjoying every minute of it, and looking forward to the next after the last one has past, this movie is a must own. Buy 2 copies, and give one to someone who doesn't have it. I did that to be honest.

[El meets Cucuy in the middle of town]
Cucuy: There's cartel on every corner.
El Mariachi: Sands told me you handle protection.
Cucuy: I don't work for Sands anymore. And since I'm a Mexi-can, I can do whatever I want.
El Mariachi: Then I guess I don't work for Sands neither. Goodbye.
[Cucuy grabs his arm]
Cucuy: There's a price on your head. I'm going to collect. Why don't you just tell Barillo everything you know and then maybe he'll just cut off your hands.
El Mariachi: And if I don't?
Cucuy: Remember that old man I killed in your village? What if your whole village was next?
El Mariachi: Would you kill them?
Cucuy: Me?
[Points to his men]
Cucuy: They certainly would.
El Mariachi: Then I guess I have no choice... but to kill you all.
