Sailer, you never fail to be much more complimentary and detailed about the good looks of male actors than females with the exception of Eric Roberts. I have often wondered about this... I've also noted that your generic ginger hair color is no match for Julia's ravishing red. I presume this is the problem with Eric as well.

As for Julia, it's too bad she isn't cute & petite like me. Even with non-classic features, I'll be cute as a button when I'm 70. Any jerks who decide to be uncivil to me will certainly be cast from the community like the curs they are.

Brad Pitt's wikipedia entry says he's 43, not 37.

"Verbinski repaid his leading lady's financial sacrifice by not covering up her worsening cosmetic flaws. In "The Mexican," Roberts looks every one of her 33 years."

Like Steve, I never thought Julia Roberts was attractive, but what's the matter with 33 year old women?! They're hot!

The film (and review) are from 2001.

Six years ago.

37 + 6 = ?

Anonymous: The review was written in 2001, when he was 37.

It's fun to read old movie reviews (or old articles about anything) and see how their predictions turn out right or wrong. Who could have guessed that Johnny Depp would hit mainstream leading-man status, much less that he would do it by playing a Disney pirate?

commenter elfin magic is amusing.....but not as amusing as old movie reviews. after ALL the hype has blown over and the "best picture of the year" nominees morph into 2 star timefilling cable fodder.....it is in NOT letting sleeping dogs lie that the reviewer really puts their rep on the line. you have guts, mr sailor. these old reviews consistently show you sugarcoating the s*** coming out of hollywood....

Unfortunately, her face is unlikely to age as well as, say, Catherine Deneuve's.

You certainly nailed that.

And directed by the director of "The Mexican!"

I'm impressed you were able to watch the whole thing, I couldn't sit through more than 15 minutes of that abomination.

I sure didn't. In my review of Pirates of the Caribbean, I wrote:

""Pirates" is inspired by an amusement park ride. A very good amusement park ride indeed, but not something that the world has been crying out to see on screen."

Steve's review was dead-on, even the Eric Roberts crack, though I wish I'd seen it before I watched this film on HBO (less than 10 mo. after theatrical IIRC). Frankly I wasn't really sure I'd ever seen it at all, till I followed the link for this review. Gay hitmen indeed. Funny to reflect on how they all went on to bigger things; not so bad for the son of a mere physicist at Oak Ridge Nat'l Labs, I can't even imagine how he'll screw up "Clue" though
