Country: USA
Plot: A career criminal nabbed by Mexican authorities is placed in a tough prison where he learns to survive with the help of a 9-year-old boy.
Quick comment: “Get the Gringo” brings back Mel Gibson to the action genre. Gibson also
wrote the screenplay, together with director Adrian Grunberg and Stacey Perskie.
All the clichés are there. The plot isn’t so much of interest and wasn’t so keen
as it looked at the beginning. When everything is achieved so easily in a plot,
it is normal for me to lose interest in it. In this particular case, we can see
its slow fall.
