Pretty Good

Brilliant and touching

Absolutely the worst movie.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

A man tries to transport an ancient gun called The Mexican, believed to carry a curse, back across the border, while his girlfriend pressures him to give up his criminal ways. Despite having Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, James Gandolfini and J.K Simmons 'The Mexican' is a poor excuse of a action comedy that fails to deliver what it tried to promote but also it's stars feel like their lost or something also whoever gave Gandolfini the role of a gay assassin or whatever should truly feel bad of his/her self for doing that. Overall pretty bad of a flick i must say. (0/10)

How this got such mediocre reviews is just beyond me .... it was a great story, great casting and stellar performance. The only thing might be the corny backstory of the gun itself, but even that winds up being charming ....if anyone has not seen this film all I can say is you are in for a treat

The Mexican is actually a fun crime-comedy to watch. It a humorous adventure for a priceless cursed pistol. It's not a downright horrible and boring film as some of the critics say it is - it's actually quite fun to watch.This is a movie I liked better than I thought I would - it was funnier than I anticipated. What made the movie so funny was the two lead characters: Jerry (Pitt) and Samantha (Roberts) their relationship with each other really was the best part of the entire film for me.This is a great afternoon comedy film... one that you can simply kick-back and enjoy.7.5/10

Pitt stars as a goofy mobster, Jerry, given an ultimatum by each his boss and his girlfriend. He chooses life and heads South to Mexico in order to retrieve an extremely valuable, yet cursed gun.This plot is refreshing, unpredictable, and darkly humorous. If you are looking for an action/comedy and something new then this is a movie for you. You can't help but enjoy Jerry's awkward mannerisms and empathize with a multi-dimensional character.Roberts is a let-down in this film. The alternating plots will keep you engaged as Jerry struggles with himself and the supposed curse, paralleling Samantha's growing relationship with the gay hit-man who keeps her hostage. However when Roberts and Pitt are together the chemistry just doesn't seem to be there.The juxtaposition between the story behind "The Mexican" to Pitt's and Roberts' characters was twisting and pretty cool at the end. The plot does tend to fall off the pace slightly but maintains itself as fun and unpredictable throughout.
