I agree. I didn't want him to die. It's amazing how sympathetic I can feel for a hired assassin!
shareI remember being 17 years old and seeing that movie for the first time with this girl I just started dating. I remember being skeptical going into the theater, but that scene right there broke me. Try acting like a badass when you get all misty eyed because the gay assassin got killed. :(
shareI too saw this movie when it came out, and it was just a bad movie, plain and simple. Brad Pitt in The Mexican? Tom Cruise in The Last Samauri? Daniel Day Lewis in Last of the Mohicans? Does anyone else see a pattern here? Hollywood is messed up.
"Funny thing, killin' a man. You take away all he's got, and all he's ever gonna have."
James Fenimore Cooper wrote The Last of the Mohicans in the 1820s and therefore had nothing to do with Hollywood. Also, Uncas is the character that is considered "the last of the Mohicans" until he dies then his father becomes the only remaining Mohican, Daniel Day Lewis' character is not the subject of the title. In The Mexican, the title refers to the gun, not Brad Pitt's character.
shareTom Cruise also wasn't the last Samurai, Katsumoto was. So the trend appears to be big name stars playing characters who their films are not named after, shocker!

I think everyone was. I knew Brad Pitt would win, but I was still hoping James Gandolfini would survive. I just changed the channel after.

All the enjoyment I got from this movie was Gandolfini's performance. Having the most sympathetic character killed by one half of an oppressively shrill couple just destroyed any lurking empathy I felt for Pitt's gurning halfwit. I wanted to change channels, but stuck with it for fifteen minutes I won't be getting back.
shareGandolfini is overrated and a simply mediocre actor. Plus, he's difficult to look at.
shareNo
shareOMG!
I caught this movie years after it was released. Truthfully, I had never ever heard of it until earlier this year, and picked it up out of the five-dollar DVD bin at Wal-Mart. For one, James Gandolfini's character reminds me of my boyfriend of three years, both personality-wise as well as physically. I was SO DISTRAUGHT to see him die in this movie. The whole mood of the story darkened after he was killed. I know it's a movie, and they are fictional characters... but I now HATE Brad Pitt even more... LOL!
