This minor, would-be Peckinpah, wannabe-Tarantino story stars Brad Pitt as a conflicted Mob bagman sent south of the border to retrieve a valuable antique pistol, and Julia Roberts as his high-strung girlfriend, who is kidnapped by James Gandolfini as a complex, anti-ironic hitman out to ensure the gun's safe return. And it would have been a perfectly okay, B-size product, a business meeting of Hollywood royalty, but for Gandolfini's striking, A-level performance, which ups our hope for a story with true grit. C+
