Summary: A gay hitman?
Review: Enough already with all these really bad films coming out of Hollywood. Chalk "The Mexican" up as yet another creatively retarded pieces of filmmaking from the U.S. movie industry. The plot is really bad. Julia Roberts performance really begins to grate on you after awhile and James Gandolfini plays a gay hitman. A gay hitman you ask? Yes, that is correct. Is that not one of the craziest and most unplausible ideas ever conceaved?. This is pure Hollywood trash. I wish some new talent could infiltrate Tinsel Town and start making some better films with good stories and ideas instead of all this exploitive, cliche' driven, tired, and plotless crap that we the consumer have been suckered into watching. And what about this films portrayal of rural Mexico? I agree with another reviewer wholeheartedly with the fact that Mexico is not justly portrayed here. It is a crime. This films rendition only feeds all the ignorant, quasi-yuppy Americans' viewpoint of what Mexico is like.
Mexico is a beautiful country with beautiful and friendly people. Lets make a film that exemplifies that.

Summary: Mobsters, Gandolfini, Rossi and Tessiero
Review: I loved the movie, Pitt , Roberts are great together, but every time I see this flick and I have seen it about ten times , I keep seeing James Gandolfini, ( Sopranos) Steve Rossi ( Allen and Rossi Comedy Team) and this Michael A. Tessiero if these guys aren't the worlds biggests goombas, they should be doing a film together they can call it "Universal Goombas" I love these guys together I hope they do more movies. Where did Tessiero come from ?? probably somebodys cousin vinny, he does have screen quality though

Summary: Offensive Look at Mexico
Review: ...)
Hello everyone. Look. I'm not someone who normally likes to be super critical, but when Hollywood puts a movie out like this I have to write a little blurb. I am a U.S. Citizen who moved to Mexico about 2 years ago. Now I will be honest, I love the fact that many people think Mexico actually looks like this. Otherwise, we would have Gringo's running all over the place. Speaking broken Spanish. Complaining. But the fact of the matter is, this movie took the worst possible areas of Mexico and presented them as if that WAS Mexico. Its the same reason that most Mexicans think the U.S. is usually like Boyz in the Hood. Many Mexicans are very afraid of the U.S. and violence, but go because they need to work. Yes, the U.S. economic situation is better, but that's mainly because people value their work over their own happiness. YES I MEAN YOU. Mexicans put all of their focus on the enjoyment of life. It doesn't matter if they have the nicest car, or the newest blender. Even people with a lot of money here have older houses and don't buy new junk every month. The problem with most portrayals of Mexico is really that there is only one image over and over. Poverty, drunk, dirt roads, etc. Which is ridiculous. Mexico is a beautiful country with modern restaurants, malls, giant cineplexes. If you want to see how it really is, get a movie made here. Like Y Tu Mama Tambien, or Amores Perros. I live in Yucatan, so I don't realy know the area that the movie takes place in. ...

Summary: Keeps me laughing
Review: I love this movie. It keeps running on HBO and whether it's at the beginning, middle or end, I just watch it. The whole story of "The Mexican" and the sepia, sort of jerky film that comes on the screen to dramatize the story, is such a kick. Brad Pitt is great in the part as is Julia Roberts (love her highlighting the "relationship" book in the mall food court. And I'll never hear the name Raul again without having to laugh thinking of the car rental guys. And the dog with his football.....The whole thing is a great fun watch. Kinda' campy....but very funny.

Summary: Like a good pudding but then there is a fly...
Review: The music is terrific. The atmosphere of Mexico is terrific. Brad Pitt is good. I can't stand Roberts. What is she doing, going for the Barbara Streisand acting award? Talk about annoying. I mean really annoying... The movie is on the one hand fun as long as she is not on the screen. But then she is back on the screen...

Summary: Mexican Standstill
Review: A movie that, considering it's ample star power, should've been so much better. Brad Pitt is charming enough, but Julia Roberts is at her most annoyingly strident. Only James Gandolfini makes the movie shine as the complex, deep-thinking hitman. When he wasn't on-screen, I found myself checking my watch.

Summary: Put the deleted scenes back in and I'd buy it
Review: I liked this movie but it could have been so much more if the deleted scenes had been left in. The acting was great, I mean You've gotta love a movie where the hero keeps dropping his gun. The story was compelling and the legend of the pistola (done wonderfully to mimic the era of silent films) really make this one special. Too bad they didn't put the same running edit feature as they had on Me Myself and Irene where you could watch the movie with the deleted scenes inserted if you chose to do so.

Summary: Can it get any worse...
Review: I gave this movie one star because that's the fewest I could give it. This movie reeks. Sorry, but if you are a Julia Roberts fan buy or rent Pretty Woman or Erin Brokavich. If you are a Brad Pitt fan, go back to Legends of the Fall or even 12 Monkeys. This is mindless boring tripe. Rather than describe the whole story, which the other reviews do, I'll just tell you this: the characters are boring, the premise is boring, the acting is boring, and the photography is average to poor. The actors are wasted on this movie and give average effort to help you get into their characters. By the end of the movie I was bummed because the only interesting character was killed off - the hitman AND HE WAS GAY. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But you get the idea - put in a cliche character to spark some interest because the basic idea doesn't do it. If you really must see it for yourself do so with a "rent one get one free" deal. Or buy my copy, which I foolishly bought for a lady friend who didn't like it.

Summary: Just a terrible movie!!!
Review: The only thing to say about The Mexican is that it is a monumental disaster! It is one of the worst movies I have ever seen and joins the ranks of other movie stinkers such as Batman and Robin and The Quest for Camelot. I suppose the director thought that by getting big names to be in his movie (Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts) that he could make this movie flop, a hit. This is not the case at all. He was horribly mistaken. The story goes absolutely nowhere and from the very first scene, there begins a steep downward spiral. So if you enjoy watching movies with no plot and horrible a script, by all means, view this movie. But if you like movies with plots and a somewhat presentable script, avoid The Mexican at all cost. This movie is not worth the time or the paper the script was printed on.
