THE MEXICAN (2001)

THE MEXICAN is an uncanny comedy that develops delightful caricatures in its characters. After the klutzy Jerry is sent off to Mexico to recover a coveted gun for conman Margolese, his unstable, overly dramatic, ultra feminist girlfriend throws a hissy and takes off to Vegas. Along the way Sam is hijacked, twice at the same mall, and her trip to Vegas involves the company of gay hitman Winston, ‘Leroy’ who eagerly waits for Jerry to return from Mexico with the pistol.

The cast includes: Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, and Gene Hackman.

Directed by: Gore Verbinksi.
