The chemistry betwwen Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts works, but the film didn't.

The plot involving a gun didn't work well in the movie. They saw the gun as a second Maltese Falcon, but the film failed to put the importance of the weapon. It's nothing to write, it shoot and kills, that's the movie.

The film also protray of life in Mexico. A better film about Mexican life is "All the Pretty Horses."

This movie was way too long. There were some funny parts involving Brad Pitt in Mexico and with the dog, but the parts with Julia Roberts were very slow and boring.

Four of us saw this movie together. Two of us gave it just an ok and two of us thought it was a complete waste of time. These two stars have done much better work.

Wait for rental my backside!! It was really great! Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts were hilarious, the whole situation of the movie was hilarious.

I especially loved the way they portrayed James Gandolfini's character (considering the outcome of the movie - you'll have to see it to know what I mean). My sis and I saw this as a double feature after Sweet November and it was a relief to see this second. Go see it!!!!

While it had it's moments, and parts were funny, save your money for a better show. Reading the subtitles was the only thing to keep you awake most of the time. While the actors are good, their acting wasn't, not in this one.

I would not have expected that a movie with Julie Roberts and Brad Pitt would be bad, but it was. Not funny. Not exciting. Zzzzzz.
