  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
"Once Upon A Time In Mexico" there was a guitar fighter known as El Mariachi (Banderas), and he stole a beautiful woman (Hayek) away from a powerful and dangerous fellow known as Gen. Marquez (Vigil). Well, Marquez is being paid by the Barillo (Dafoe) cartel to kill the president of Mexico, and a guy named Sands (Depp) decides that El Mariachi is just the one to go after Marquez. It seems that the cartels have quite a price on Mariachi
