In the movie, Pitt stars as a low-level mobster who is sent south of the border to pick up an antique gun. Roberts is his girlfriend, who flips out when she hears he's pulling yet another job. Gandolfini is Leroy, the hit man who kidnaps Roberts to ensure that Pitt doesn't mess up. Leroy is a homosexual.
