Editing Let's Go with Pancho Villa (section)

== Reception ==

The Los Angeles Times Daily Mirror described the movie as "a bleak film of increasingly senseless violence". In a mostly negative review, the author (writing anonymously as they have since left the LA Times) criticizes the lack of character definition in the movie, describes camera movements as "so rough it could be a documentary" and the score to be almost imperceptible several times throughout the movie.<ref>{{Cite web |last=lmharnisch |date=2019-11-21 |title=From the Vaults – 'Vamonos Con Pancho Villa!' |url=https://ladailymirror.com/2019/11/21/from-the-vaults-vamonos-con-pancho-villa-2/ |access-date=2025-02-07 |language=en}}</ref>

Writing for Slant Magazine, in a more positive review, Aaron Cutler describes the movie's production as "quick, fluid movement, lots of music, smooth unassuming transitions, clean sound, rapid action, and extended colloquial humor". However, he criticizes the dialogue as being typically Hollywood, with dramatic and unrealistic lines that lead the audience to be enamored by the emotion behind the dialogue, rather than the fact.<ref name="Cutler">{{Cite web |last=Cutler |first=Aaron |date=2010-09-18 |title=New York Film Festival 2010: Fernando de Fuentes's Mexican Revolution Trilogy |url=https://www.slantmagazine.com/film/new-york-film-festival-2010-fernando-de-fuentess-mexican-revolution-trilogy/ |access-date=2025-02-07 |website=Slant Magazine |language=en-US}}</ref>
