The Mexican (2003-)

Movie Review

It's not often that Hollywood has the opportunity (opportunity = financial backing) to team two superstars in a major release. Julia Roberts uses her considerable comedic talents to pull off the role of Samantha, the put-upon girlfriend of the increasingly inept Jerry, played by Brad Pitt. Jerry has gotten himself into trouble with the mob by accidentally playing a crucial role in the arrest of mob boss, Arnold Margolese (Gene Hackman). In one of the few scenes that Julia and Brad share in the film, we learn that Samantha is packed and ready to move to Vegas, when Jerry gets an order he can't refuse to go to Mexico and retrieve a priceless gun nicknamed "The Mexican." Be the eye witness.
