The Mexican
In "The Mexican," Brad Pitt stars as
Jerry Welbach, a reluctant bagman, who has been given two ultimatums: The
first is from his mob boss to travel to Mexico and retrive a priceless
antique pistol, known as "The Mexican"... or suffer other
consequences. The second is from his girlfriend Samantha (julia Roberts) to
end his association with the mob. Jerry figures alive and in trouble with
Samantha is better than the more permanent alternative, so he heads south
of the border. Finding the pistol proves easy. Getting it home is another
matter. "The Mexican" supposedly carries a legendary curse-a
legend Jerry is given every reason to believe... especially when Samantha
is taken hostage by a hit man (James Gandolfini) to ensure the safe return
of the pistol.
