This is a great movie. There's no question. But...
Well, this may sound snobbish. I like Penelope Cruz, especially in the Spanish movies she's been in. She makes a poor Mexican, though. She played a Brazillian woman in another movie. Please, cast people where they belong. She looks and sounds Spanish. You can argue looks, but you can't argue accent. She sounds Spanish, not Mexican. She tries to hide it, but I could do a better English accent (and I can't do a decent one) than she can do a Mexican accent.
Okay, it's snobbish, and that's really my only complaint about the movie. But think about it, if you saw a movie with Sean Connery playing an American and speaking with his Scottish accent, how believable would it be to you.
Sorry, but I lived in Mexico and it just bugged me to death. The rest of the movie was great.
