The Last Assignment Is The Last Straw

Luckless Brad Pitt can't seem to work off a debt that he owes crime boss Gene Hackman in an unbilled role. Four years earlier he got into a fender bender with Hackman right at the moment that Hackman was carrying someone... Full review

Brad Pitt is absolutely hilarious in this movie and all the actors including of course him are excellent in it. The directing and visuals is great and I love the story (the ending was so great).... Full review

Let me start with saying some positive things about The Mexican. By times the dialogues were good and witty. Gandolfini is good at playing a tough gay gangster. Julia Roberts was - contrary to most commenters' opinion - quite OK... Full review

The Mexican is unfortunately missing most of the main things you need to have a good film. It lacks any real plot. Good Dialogue and characters. Good Acting. Good Direction. Good Visual effects. And that you can't guess whats going to... Full review

Colorado Springs Independent
The Mexican , which takes its title from the name of the historical gun at the center of the plot, is a sometimes funny, sometimes exciting, comedy/thriller/road trip flick that you might be glad you saw. Roberts is predictably decent in her bratty, tough girl way, while Pitt manages some good physical comedy. ... Full Review

Once we've seen Roberts throw Pitt's clothes out on the street with the words 'if you get on that plane you'll never see me again' The Mexican happily splits its expensive star duo up and doesn't reunite them until the film's final act. The Mexican desert vistas are spectacular, the production design fabulous and that soundtrack will keep the toes tapping. ... Full Review

Movies that Bang!
The Mexican is a quirky movie, engrossing, and fun.....I'll start with the bad movie starring Julia Roberts in Las Vegas.....because you like Brad Pitt then you won't regret it.....At that precise moment, this movie goes wrong....If you see the movie because you love Julia Roberts.... ...

DVD Talk
Pitt has several sharp moments of comedy, enjoyably making the character a bit goofy -....Also, the film boasts a fine screenplay by JH Whyman to work with and great cinematography by Dariusz Wolski, who also worked on "Dark City" and "Crimson Tide".....Pitt continues to impress after several great recent performances.....Although Pitt's performance is excellent, it's Gandolfini's scenes with Roberts that are more interesting than when she's with Pitt..... ...

Basically, anyone going to see The Mexican in order to see Brad and Julia together is going to be sorely disappointed. His girlfriend Sam (Julia Roberts) tells him that they're finished if he does any more jobs for them, but he's coerced into going to Mexico to retrieve an antique pistol - the 'Mexican' of the title. ...
