Film Review - Get the Gringo (2012)

Get the Gringo concerns a "Gringo" or Foreigner in Mexico played by Mel Gibson who is busted crossing the Mexican border and thrown into Jail, but the "Gringo" has a few tricks of his own up his sleeve.

Get the Gringo is a very stylish film and also a hell of a lot of fun to watch, mainly due to Gibson himself, he may have fallen from grace over the last few years but this movie proves that he still has the charisma and presence that made him a star in both Mad Max and Lethal Weapon and its a lot of fun to watch him get up to no good in this movie.

The film also has a very stylish and grungy look to it as well within the Mexican prison and you really get a feel for it in a way that it becomes a character in the film in its own right and there is also a very cool performance by Bob Gunton towards the end of the film and it was sure nice to see him in a movie again after quite a while.

So all in all while the Gringo goes over the top too much with its violence, the stylish feel and Gibson's central performance make this worth checking out, 2 and a half out of 5.
