Here is a review of the movie - The Mexican, featuring Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts.

The plot is about Jerry Welbach's (Pitt) trials and tribulations as he tries to get a famous antique gun, The Mexican, out of Mexico and into the United States. Five years earlier he had caused a traffic accident in which he hit the car of local mobster Arnold Margolese (Gene Hackman), who then had to go to jail for five years when the police searched his car after the crash. As a compensation for the jail time, Jerry is sent on various errands by Margolese's second-in-command, Bernie Nayman (Bob Balaban).

It quickly becomes clear to Jerry that his final assignment by Margolese will be difficult, as the gun seems to carry a curse. The various tellings of the history of the gun and the cause of the curse are a running joke throughout the movie, but suffice it to say that present and past get more and more similar in each telling of the story.

Shooting a black hitman who attempts to abduct Jerry's girlfriend, Samantha, a man who calls himself Leroy (James Gandolfini) kidnaps Samantha (Roberts), thinking that she has the gun. Leroy then assures Samantha that she is safe, he is only looking for the gun to return to Margolese. He assures her that everything will be fine once she gets Jerry to turn the gun over to him.

Meanwhile, Jerry locates the gun, which had been stolen from him, but has to outwit his friend Ted (J. K. Simmons), who has instructions to get the gun and to kill Jerry if necessary.

Hoping for Jerry's arrival, Samantha and Leroy drive to Las Vegas. During the car ride, "Leroy" admits that he is gay, much to the amusement of Samantha, who thinks this is strange considering his occupation. The two exchange some relationship advice and pick up Frank (Michael Cerveris), at a diner, a stranger who is flirting with Leroy. Frank and Leroy spend the night together, and the next morning Samantha encounters a pensive and changed "Leroy." When she asks him about the tattoo "Winston" on his arm, he replies that Winston is someone he does not like much.

After Leroy and Samantha have gone out for breakfast, the black hitman appears again, and kills Frank. At the time Leroy shot him, he was wearing a bulletproof vest and was able to survive. When Leroy and Samantha return to the hotel, Leroy kills the hitman.

Unfortunately, Jerry has lost his passport and cannot leave Mexico, therefore Leroy and Samantha have to fly there. When Jerry sees Leroy, he gets suspicious, since he had met the real Leroy earlier and recalls he is black. Leroy tries to shoot Jerry a short time later, but Jerry shoots and kills him instead. When Leroy is dead, Jerry looks in his wallet and finds his real name is Winston Baldry.

The real Leroy was actually hired by Margolese, while Baldry was hired by Nayman, who wants the gun for himself. In a final confrontation, Samantha kills Nayman with The Mexican, undoing the curse. The gun is then given to a descendant of the gunsmith by Margolese, who had learned about the whole story about the gun while in prison.

never even thought of watching ultraviolet even though I had so many chances to. Hey does anyone think Serenity was a better film than any of the star wars episodes say the empire strikes back, I don't think so but a lot of people think otherwise.

pursuit of happiness. (will smith and he's son did a good job)

i watched evan almighty today it was good, i didnt expect it to be so nice, because i didnt like bruce almighty, but i was pleasantly suprised.

steve carrell is hilarious love him to bits, loved him since his daily show with Jon Stewart days, loved him in the 40 year old virgin movie too


am yet to watch it(Evan almighty) , its on my to do list though

@ omoge i love the pix above cant get enough of it " "

yep, i think Steve Carrel over does his "jokes", perhaps why the office is my most boring TV comedy. Brings out no laughs in me.
Now Jim Carey, that's one funny guy.

The Office isn't boring. I love the subdued humor, the cleverness, tension[b], hypocrisy[/b].

Die Hard 4 is the Shit! nuffsaid!

Live free Or die hard

love! love! loved it lots of gun fire

lots of things getting blown off

and this trade mark line " Yippee Ki Yay"

Bruce Willis is still da man

Boo! Jim iyke.

@seunspice
You're supposed to REVIEW a movie, not to riddle your post with spoilers.

Transformers has to be THE movie for me. And when the Simpsons' Movie comes out later this year. . .oh man!

Live Free Or Die Hard - That movie is the s**t, if u love action and into a descent storyline - definitely the better choice.
Evan Almighty - Had to admit was a bit skeptical at first, but it is damn funny film, can stand the test to it's predecessor.
Fantastic 4 - Rise of the Silver Surfer - Cool movie, not a bad way to spend an hour n a half.
Vacancy - Again wasn't feeling this movie all too well at first, but kind of got into it after the first few mins.
Shooter - Again another action film with a slight twist of conspiracy, Mark Walberg has more than proved himself as a bankable actor.
License To Wed - Can't be asked, just corny!!!
Transformers - Nice film, was impressed with the movie and actions scenes. The transformations weren't bad either.
