The Mexican (2001)
Can i Mex ?

I think that Gore Verbinski has a great future like movie director - just see Ring or Pirates, even Mouse - but first he should select better the scripts for his movies. This is the real problem on this one. Anybody who has gone to a screenwriter's school or academy or university knows that one of the first things you should learn to write for movies is that your principal characters must act. They must go to create action. And never expect and react. That's what makes Brad Pitt's character in great part of the movie. Everything happens to him and he never do nothing for the action. He just stays there and things happens round him - can anybody believe that a girl like Julia can be in love with a dork like him? Just cause he is handsome? Oh god! - and that can't work. It's hard to understand how a director like Gore has fallen in this kind of mistake. We'll expect that in the future his movies will be better - like Pirates.

My evaluation: 4 over 10
