The Mexican (2001)
Jerry is told to deliver an antique gun whose curse makes his life hell
6 July 2006
I really did enjoy this movie which was surprising as I had been told it was so bad. The bad hype this movie has gained has been very much overrated and I would recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys good sarcastic humor. It is a mixture of genres with a little romance, action and comedy together. Though don't watch this movie with too much romance in mind. Many people who watched this movie watched it thinking it was going to be some sort of love story and was sorely disappointed. It is more in style with the movie The Break-Up with a relationship gone sour so expect Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt to fight a lot instead of kiss and romance. All round I found it very much enjoyable. It's true the plot does get a little chaotic (especially when the flashbacks on the gun's alternative histories are intersected with the main plot) but not so much that the viewer can't follow but can be little overwhelming. It is a very different type of film to what Hollywood usually brings out so it is probably better to go in with no expectations and an open mind. Though generally if you liked Gore Verbinski Pirates Of The Caribbean you'll probably like this movie as the sarcastic humor is quite similar.
