Get the Gringo


During a high-speed car chase with the U.S. Border Patrol and a bleeding body in his back seat, Driver (Mel Gibson) violently crashes his car into the border wall as he tries to outrun them.

Driver survives the crash only to land inside a hard-core Mexican prison where he enters the strange and dangerous world of “El Pueblito.” He finds unlikely guidance from a 10-year-old kid who shows him the ropes.

While many critics are panning this flick, foreign residents in Mexico will appreciate its down and dirty look at a Mexican prison.

Gibson’s character reminds one of  the crazy cop he played in the Lethal Weapon flicks 25 years ago. It’s an action movie with an attitude, so don’t expect anything deep.

Director: Adrian Grunberg. Cast: Mel Gibson, Roberto Sosa, Daniel Jiménez Cacho, Peter Stormare, Dolores Heredia. Rated: R. Time: 1:35.
