The Mexican

Hapless small-time crook Jerry Welbach (Brad Pitt) is assigned to bring the priceless title handgun back to the U.S. from Mexico for his imprisoned mobster boss. But when his put-upon girlfriend, Samantha (Julia Roberts), picks that moment to leave him and head to Las Vegas to restart her life, Jerry is stranded south of the border, while Samantha is abducted by a hit man (James Gandolfini). With Bob Balaban and, in an unbilled cameo, Gene Hackman. 123 min.
