I love his acting for this movie he really know how to play a bad guy :) Banderas should take more villain roles because he is really good bad guy anybody agrees with me? :)

Agreed. I loved him as the villain.

He looked like he was having a hell of a good time playing Bain! It bugs me when people say he was over-acting - going "over the top" - when it's Bain's who's over the top, skirting that wild edge. I loved that. Banderas wasn't over-acting, he was making Bain, well, Bain! I can watch that taxi scene 100 times and never get tired of it.

Yes, he was like Steve Martin - a wild and crazy guy!

You never knew what he was going to do next, while Sly was playing the cool cucumber.

They worked great as opposite personalities.

I remember the audience loved all of his scenes.

He had a nice Psychotic arc to Stallone's restrained hit man.

Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead

He provided the comic relief for the movie, if he wasn't in it I doubt it would have been as good as it was.

Agreed, especially with all he goes through, he kinda earns your respect as well as Rath's respect by the end of the film. Even though you don't want Rath to die, you do want to see Bain succeed in some way. Miguel Bain is definitely my favorite Banderas character tied with El Mariachi, two very badass dudes. I did love him as Puss in Boots though LOL

it's a great performance. and his broken english adds even more style to the character IMO.
