Wyman's script liven up the picture considerably."   Filmcritic.com   Christopher Null "Not nearly so zany and cute and comical as the trailers might lead you to believe."   Philadelphia City Paper   Cynthia Fuchs 3/4 "Gandolfini is especially good as the hitman with a heart of gold."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair B "cinematographer Dariusz Wolski's location shots of the beautiful mountain town of Real de Catorce were spectacular."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz B+ "A delightfully original film."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 1/4 "A huge star-pairing vehicle in search of a road. Any road."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress C "The Mexican is ruined not so much by the presence of its A-List stars, and certainly not by their performances, but by their influence."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov C+ "Too fractured and structurally slipshod to amount to much, and so ephemeral that it passes out of the consciousness almost as soon as it unspools."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "An offbeat road movie exploring the strange course of love and a fabled gun's history."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 2.5/4 "A mixed bag -- the comedy is generally effective, and some of the drama works, but the adventure and romance elements are dead on arrival."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/4 "the movie's romanticism is somewhat comical and far-fetched, but beating beneath is guns-and-blood exterior is a vein of authentic emotion that gives the story an added edge."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 6/10 "The main problem with the movie has to do with several jolting moments of violence."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen "A mostly entertaining production that's certainly easy to watch thanks to the presence of its three stars and their lively and fun performances."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 6/10 "The film did still manage to entertain me with its general fun vibe, its charismatic stars, its somewhat diverting story and upbeat soundtrack."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo "Even though he's working with big budget stars, director Verbinski wisely maintains the intimacy of the script."   Light Views   John Larsen "Just sit back and enjoy the nice photography and good acting by two huge stars."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 2/4 "The Mexican coasts along throwing at us double-agent/double-crossings intrigue, witty one-liners, and some evocative scenery."   Bangitout.com   Jordan Hiller 2.5/4 "Es una pena que se haya desperdiciado el talento y carisma de sus estrellas principales con un final tan barato y carente de imaginación"   Moviola   Jorge Avila Andrade 3/5 "Run for the border - the Canadian border."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel matinee "It's a comedy, it's a slim drama, it's an adventure tale, with an amusingly presented Mexican legend inserted every once in a while."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery B+ "...there has been a great deal of thought and effort put into this film, and it shows."   Countingdown.com   Larry Carroll "Verbinski struck pay dirt with his superstar threesome, all better than the script warrants."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 7/10 "Julia Roberts, una vez más demuestra que tiene mucha madera para la comedia."   Cinenganos   Luis Martinez 3/5 "Gandolfini delivers a surprising variation on his Sopranos persona, and the plot takes a couple of entertaining detours along the road to romantic redemption."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3/4 "The real surprise here are the scenes between Roberts and Gandolfini."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik "The kind of vapid and nonsensical fluff that fills multiplexes on Saturday nights when the crap on TV is even worse."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2/4 "An example of how trying to accommodate the best of both worlds results in the most confused mess."   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina 3/4 ""The Mexican" is just different enough to really capture my interest."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 3/5 "It just sits there, doing nothing that a competent made-for-cable movie with C-list stars couldn't do."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves 6/10 "One of the strangest 'star vehicles' you're ever likely to see."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg C- "Even the film’s fatuous advertising blurb (“Love with the safety off”) combines romance and firearms, gunplay and foreplay."   Decent Films Guide   Steven D.
