Trivia:
James Gandolfini reportedly lost 35 pounds for his role as Winston, all of which he had to gain back before shooting re-commenced on the upcoming season of "The Sopranos" (1999) because producer David Chase believed that "The Sopranos" audience would not like a "skinny" Tony (Soprano). moreGoofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): After saving Samantha's life, Winston puts the latex gloves he used into the trash, enabling police to lift his fingerprints off them. moreSoundtrack:

GOOD - Story was interesting the first time around.....loved the cinematography; nice Mexican scenery.... liked Brad Pitt's dialog and his character was fun to watch.....enjoyed the few side-bits with the dog and was surprised when Gene Hackman showed up late in the film.
BAD - Julia Roberts ruined this film, at least by the second viewing. She was either yelling at Pitt all the time or gushing over a hit-man who admitted he was gay, and both routines wore thin. She thought (being gay) that was just the greatest thing and really overdid it.
Overall, if you modified Roberts' character into someone less abrasive this might have been a "keeper."
