Short description
Jerry Welbach, a reluctant bagman, has been given two ultimatums: The first is from his mob boss to travel to Mexico and retrieve a priceless antique pistol, known as "the Mexican"... or suffer the consequences. The second is from his girlfriend Samantha to end his association with the mob. Jerry figures alive and in trouble with Samantha is better than the more permanent alternative, so he heads south of the border.
What's left behind the scenes
- On the set of the film, Julia Roberts met her future husband, cinematographer Daniel Moder.
- Jerry and everyone else carried pistols without holsters, tucking them into the front of their belt. This method of carrying a weapon is called "Mexican-style".
- James Gandolfini (1961-2013) lost almost 35 pounds to play Winston. After filming, he had to regain the weight for work on a new season of the series "The Sopranos" (1999-2007). Producer David Chase stated that viewers wouldn’t like a “skinny” Tony Soprano.
