There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

If you watch the trailer of AMIGOS... you will be tempted to think that that was it, that you no longer have to watch this film because the plot has been laid open before your eyes. When you watch it you realise that this is not the case."Amigos..." is a comedy with a twisted plot. While there are drama elements in the story, the spectator's mood is always kept away from it because of one or another comedy element that invariably gets a smile. The movie has a good pace. I enjoyed the well achieved build-up for the main event that triggers the main story.AMIGOS... is entertaining and there is more to it than the trailer suggests.
