Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003)

Once Upon a Time in Mexico is the third installment in the Mariachi trilogy which began with El Mariachi and continued with Desperado. Antonio Banderas returns as the gun for hire known as the Mariachi, who is recruited by a rogue CIA operative (Johnny Depp) to eliminate a Mexican general. Robert Rodriguez returned to direct and the film's cast includes Salma Hayek (returning from Desperado), Eva Mendes, Mickey Rourke, Willem Dafoe, and frequent Rodriguez collaborator Danny Trejo.
