The Mexican
Jerry Welbach, a reluctant bagman, faces two ultimatums: from his mob boss to journey to Mexico and retrieve a priceless antique pistol called "the Mexican" or pay the consequences; and from his girlfriend Samantha to cut ties with the mob. Believing that staying alive with Samantha is preferable to the other outcome, Jerry heads south of the border.

Silly entertainment! <em>'The Mexican'</em> works as a comedy and works as an adventure road trip flick, so it evidently achieved what it set out to do. This 2001 release features a strong cast, as we get Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts together alongside James Gandolfini, J. K. Simmons and Gene Hackman. I enjoyed all five, especially the first three. It's not a film to be taken overly serious, it's one to enjoy and I got a lot of enjoyment from it - credit to Gore Verbinski & Co. Recommended? Definitely!

It’s been a while since I’ve seen this and maybe my tastes may have evolved but I recall liking it a lot and watching it a second time at one point. I was pleasantly surprised by James Gandolfini’s brave choice of his small role, after the tough gangster roles. I would watch it again just for that. I would recommend this move to anyone looking for a nice early 2000’s romantic comedy.
