THE MEXICAN(2001)
Quite a twisted tale with a considerable amount of humor!!
And all over a gun!! B+
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
Jerry Welbach (Brad Pitt) has to bring back a pistol called
'The Mexican' with a guy back from Mexico as his next job
for the mob. His girlfriend Samantha Barzel (Julia Roberts)
is sick of his mob jobs. He decides to go with the mob.
Only Samantha gets kidnapped, and Jerry has a lot of
difficulties delivering the cursed gun.
I think they're suppose to be white trash characters.
They're way too pretty. Having these two A-listers may
not be the right move. And it doesn't quite work as a
comedy. Both Pitt and Roberts try very hard to be wacky.
Pitt especially try hard to be stupid. The story is
idiosyncratic wallowing in its quirkiness. None of it
is particularly funny. However James Gandolfini does
take an interesting turn as the kidnapper. - SnoopyStyle
