I love Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt, and when I seen they made a movie together; I just had to rent the movie.
The movie is called The Mexican
Plot
The movie starts out were Brad is asked to go to Mexico and find a gun that has been stolen and to return the gun and the person who has the gun on him. When Brad returns to his apartment to confront his girlfriend, he finds her yelling down at him from the apartment balcony. Julia wants Brad and her to run off to Los Vegas together and get married, she was tired of his illegal dealings and wanted him to give it all up.
Well when Brad told her that he couldn’t give this deal up she said that he was now on his own and that she was going to Los Vegas herself. So Brad heads off to the boarder of Mexico. He ends up in TJ Mexico looking for this gun. He has no idea why this gun is so important; all he knows is that the guy who hired him to do the job needs it back.
Brad decided to rent a car, but he doesn’t want any car he wants a car that looks like he is from Mexico. So he ends up with a long boat and it’s a convertible. Finally Brad finds the gun and the guy and tells him he has to take him back to the states. While Brad was at the pay phone his friend was in the car along with the gun, and all a sudden his car was stolen and his friend was shot and killed. The gun is now missing, and now he doesn’t know what he should do.
He ends up finding his car at a local bar, but has to fight to get his car back; he also ends up with this ferocious dog. The dog isn’t so bad once he started to like Brad. Meanwhile Julia ends up being followed by a man who claims he is helping her out. She has no idea that the man who is with her is the real killer. She starts to really get to know this guy after he ends up shooting a man that he said was after Julia. They head for Los Vegas and on their way they end up in a motel room together. Here is were this guy ends up falling in love with another man, and Julia finds out that he is really gay.
With Julia in trouble and Brad in Mexico finding this gun things start to take a real twist. Brad begins to find the real history behind this gun. As the story goes a gunsmith maker made the gun a long time ago, he made it for his daughter’s fiancée. He wanted this man to shot this gun for the first time, but when he went to shot the gun it back fired on him and killed him. As the story goes on things change about the history and Brad has to find out what the true story was.
He also has no idea that the people he believes he can trust he really can’t. He also has no idea that is girlfriend is being kidnapped.
Conclusion
This is where I will end this review. I don’t want you to know the outcome of this movie. Will Julia and Brad find each other again? Will Brad realize who he can trust and who he can’t? Will the gun ever get back to the real owner? What will happen to Julia and Brad? Believe me the ending of this movie is great. Something I never thought would happen at the end does. All the actors/actress’s done a fantastic job on this movie. The special affects were awesome, and you really felt like you were in Mexico along with Brad. I would suggest this movie to anyone who likes to see Romance along with drama. Yes the movie is slow moving, but it was still a good movie to watch. I wont say it was the best movie I seen this year, and it sure wasn’t the best movie that the two main actors/actress’s played in this year, but it still was an ok movie.
