Summary: An amazingly stupid movie
Review: The Mexican has to be the worst movie ive seen this year. I rented it cause JAmes Galdofini was in it.HE was the best actor in this film thus the one star.Even though I find him unbeleivable as a gay he was good as his role.Brad Pitt sucked as the bumbling nerd and I usually think he's good.Julia Roberts overacts in this movie BIGTIME and is a little too much for me.The plot has some major holes.....{like how does Brad Pitt know the charecter Leroy died in the hotel?}and uttterly makes little sense.I didn,t laugh much and The whole ending sucked.In all this movie was horrible and they threw Gene Hackman in a few scenes to add his name to the back of the Blockbuster video. The screenwriter and director should br fired. Yeah lets make the hitman gay what a hoot. THIS MOVIE SUCKS AND ALL YOU LOSERS WHO GAVE IT 5 or 4 STARS SHOULD BE SHOT.

Summary: DISSAPPOINTING, BORING
Review: Based on star quality along, I bought this DVD. But I guess star power given a mediocre directing and editing just bombs out. Roberts and Pitt's continuous bickerings and shouting all throughout the movie made them look like two over grown kids fighting over anything at the slightest provocation. Gandolfini's character was likewise confusing. I believe the only good actor in the movie was the dog. The DTS format was excelent.

Summary: Almost Criminal
Review: The title of this review refers to the waste of Julia's and Jimmy Gs talents. If I'd known in advance of buying this turkey that the director was also responsible for "Mouse Hunt" of a few years ago, I'd not bought it, even though I'm fond of Julia and Jimmy. Mr. Pitt isn't very convincing either. Specifically, this film is a dog because: Incredible poor editing. You have to see the outakes to get a glimmer of what this film is about and then it's so what. Julia and Jimmy struggled valiantly to save this mess, but their efforts were wasted on such a thin story line.

Summary: Better than I expected
Review: This movie was my wife's choice. I expected it to be a lame romance just leaning on the box-office popularity (read: looks) of Pitt and Roberts.I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. For one thing, both Pitt and Roberts gave pretty solid performances. The romance aspect of the film is OK, and there was a minimum number of times where I was distracted by the acting. Even better was that the action/mystery part of the film works well, also. The storyline is enjoyable, with some interesting twists and good suspense. One complaint about the DVD version: the sound is awful. It would get too loud, making you turn down the volume, then it would suddenly drop down to where you could hardly hear it. Then when you turn up the volume it gets too loud again. Spent a big part of the movie adjusting the volume.

Summary: Did anyone one else notice
Review: the fun quirky stuff in this movie? The lamppost, the dog, the continual theme of peeing? Wierd, funny, quirky. That is all there is in this movie that is worth enjoying. The rest of it is garbage. Sorry to Brad and Julia, not to mention James, but did you guys actually READ this script first?

Summary: Zero chemistry between the two leads
Review: The problems with The Mexican start really early . Already by the first scene when Julia Roberts is lying in bed and Brad Pitt is sitting sceptical besides her , one thing is obvious : they don't look good together . It's actually hard to understand what's wrong with the couple . Even though they share only two or three scenes together they fail to convice as real lovers . If you analyze seperately each perfomance you can still find faults to mark . Julia's charms are as always hard to resist . She's simply the most loveable star in Hollywood at the moment . In this movie though , she displays an excessive hysteria and since the script wants her to hate her boyfriend ( only when he fails to keep his promises though ) she makes constant agressive declarations against Pitt's character , immediately one after another ...but her panic and anger just doesn't feel natural .Pitt on the other hand is definetely one of the most enigmatic actors of the last decade . He was sensational as the young , sensitive vampire in Interview With A Vampire ,schokingly human in Seven , cool and funny in Fight Club . On the other hand he was truly awfull as clumsy , german climber in Seven Years In Thibet , one-dimensional and boring as the horny reaper in Meet Joe Black. Here he gives one of his worst perfomances yet , one of these perfomances ex-fashion models give in order to start a movie career . He fails to be even as half as believable as J.Galdofini is in the film's central supporting role . The thing is there are many young actors who could play this part much better than Pitt like , for example Liev Schreiber or even Ben Chaplin . And it's really unfair that gifted guys like that never get the chance to play opposite Roberts and get known by a wider audience . Despite all that ,The Mexican is not as depthless as it's trailer implies .Sporadically it's touching and at times suprisingly serious .It's plot has one or two twists which merely work and the photography travels you to the lazy beautiness of Mexico. Overall though it's way too silly to justify all the fuzz about it.

Summary: Waste of time
Review: The plot of this movie was really quite stupid and confusing. Brad Pitt, who I think is a very talented actor, was really wasted in this role. And I have never understood the hype about Julia Roberts. She is an extremely mediocre actress, and rather average looking to boot. In this movie, she is exceptionally mediocre. We turned it off about two thirds through--why waste anymore of valuable time.

Summary: everbody...
Review: This was an ok movie, it's certainly not something i'd want to buy, but for the price of a rental or matinee it's decent entertainment. like most the reviews say, the story's a bit predictable, and the leads dont' have particularly good chemistry, but it's still pretty decent.

Summary: Tony Soprano as you have never seen him before
Review: I didn't really have much of an issue with this movie up until James Gandolfini and Brad Pitt changing the tire. I didn't understand the circumstances and there was no explanation about what James Gandolfini's character was really doing. Maybe I just missed something. I thought the ending could have been better as well. Hardened criminal changed forever by a story. I really liked the movie up until the last 30 minutes or so. It's worth a rent.
