Plots(1)
Two parallel yet intertwined stories and a stellar cast make The Mexican a clever, off beat comedy-thriller. Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt, in their first film together, play a battling couple headed for a split after Jerry (Pitt) agrees to embark on one last task for a dangerous mob boss - much to the dismay of his strong-willed, independent girlfriend Samantha (Roberts). Jerry sees the errand as a quick score - he’s to travel to Mexico to retrieve a legendary, hand crafted pistol known as ‘The Mexican’. But Jerry’s trip south of the border not only explodes into a series of mishaps, missteps, and misadventures, but his hilariously ill-fated ‘errand’ draws Samantha into the plot as well when she’s nabbed by a troubled hitman (James Gandolfini, in a scene stealing performance) and held captive to ensure that Jerry completes his assignment. Will Jerry get the gun? And the girl? And his normal life back? You’re in for a non-stop roller coaster ride of thrills, danger and laughs in this wild and unpredictable search for The Mexican.
