Hanté et marqué par de nombreuses tragédies, le Desperado s'est retiré pour mener une existence solitaire. Il vit désormais loin du monde, avec Carolina. Souvent, il joue de la guitare en se remémorant son douloureux passé... Un jour, Sands, un agent corrompu de la CIA, le sort de sa retraite et lui demande d'empêcher l'assassinat du Président du Mexique. Barillo, un baron de la drogue, ambitionne en effet de renverser ce dernier... Le hasard fait bien les choses : celui qui a ruiné le passé du Desperado est impliqué dans ce plan visant à tuer le Président mexicain. Animé d'un grand désir de vengeance, il va, avec ses deux comparses Lorenzo et Fideo, raviver sa flamboyante légende... (ESC Distribution)

Encore plus cool et élégant que Desperado, mais avec une histoire trop surchargée et chaotique, où il n'y a pas de temps pour l'essentiel - développer en profondeur les personnages sur lesquels le film repose. Tout le temps, quelqu'un se dispute secrètement avec quelqu'un d'autre, ou tire sur quelqu'un. Robert Rodriguez a essayé de condenser trois heures de matériau en 80 minutes et le résultat est un gâchis précipité et parfois maladroit, plus adapté aux fans de Spy Kids qu'à Desperado. ()
Un ensemble d’acteurs de premier ordre qu’emmène un Johnny Depp sans qui ce film serait incomplet – même Banderas est éclipsé. Salma hérite d’un rôle de seconde zone, ce qu’on peut éventuellement regretter. Bien que le potentiel y soit, le tout laisse à désirer. ()
Rodriguez has forgotten how to make good movies. The Hollywood air doesn't suit him and he should probably stop eating those burgers because a full stomach is bleeding his brain, he should go back to the light Mexican food. The lightness and straightforwardness of Desperado has disappeared, replaced by an incomprehensible cluttered plot and a lot of unnecessary characters. Rodriguez doesn’t know how to tell a story. And I'm not going to lie when I tell you that if you watch the trailer, you will see the vast majority of the film’s action sequences. What's very surprising is that even these are not very cleverly filmed, except perhaps for the escape of Banderas and Salma, which you can see almost entirely – yes – again in the trailer. Speaking of Salma: her presence in the film could be summed up in about five minutes of total time. Putting her name in the trailers is a good marketing move, but it's also kind of cheeky. And the rest? My favourite, Dafoe, is also only briefly present, Banderas is just Banderas, nothing new, Iglesias is alright and Depp? If it weren't for him, I'd probably have left the cinema. His "maintaining stability" is one of the few amusing, if very subtle, moments. Overall: weird and boring. Why the one star? For that beautiful Mexican music. And for the hope that Roberto might still remember his inventive and entertaining beginnings. ()
Yeah, it's fun. Robert Rodriguez goes of the rails quite a bit and even though he gets really wild in places, it surprisingly works thanks to the the stars, of which there are more than a few. Johnny Depp is terrific along with Antonio Banderas, the rest are slightly overshadowed, but it's a nice watch thanks to the occasional slapstick and over the top action. 65% ()
This is like Rodriguez filmed a much longer picture, but used just half of it and also arranged it in an order that has no head or tail to it. As a result, scenes that were evidently supposed to be a tribute to or “quote" from Leone turn come across like they are making fun of him and are incredibly embarrassing. Better to watch Desperado for the umpteenth time, rather than this. ()
