Charlotte ObserverLawrence Toppman
Gandolfini's fans expect something quirky whenever he shows up, and they'll get what they've bargained for. Read full review

Mr. ShowbizCody Clark
The plot that propels them (Pitt, Roberts) along separate story lines is both unusually character-driven and a hoot. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarc Savlov
Plenty of killings abound, nevertheless the film is a masterful -- albeit warped -- love-story-cum-road-movie that revolves around three of the most invigorating performances of the year. Read full review

Surprisingly enjoyable.

Chicago Sun-TimesRoger Ebert
Gandolfini comes in from left field and provides a character with dimensions and surprises, bringing out the best in Roberts. Their dialogue scenes are the best reason to see the movie. Read full review

Christian Science MonitorDavid Sterritt

Washington PostRita Kempley
Like many of his recent films, The Mexican would be an independent movie if Pitt, not to mention the queen of popcorn cinema, weren't part of the picture. This is not your typical star vehicle. Read full review

Philadelphia InquirerSteven Rea
This violently comic caper has some spunky charm going for it -- but has a lot of self-consciously hip, studied wackiness going against it.
