Get the Gringo Reviews
[Gibson] and the boy make the kind of cross-generational double act that deservedly went out of fashion with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, although it's superficially toughened up with bad language and cigarettes.
| Original Score: 2/5 | May 11, 2012
[A] lively, non-PC caper-thriller, with touches of Elmore Leonard and Quentin Tarantino...
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 10, 2012
The plot thickens to the density of Semtex, then explodes.
| Original Score: 4/5 | May 10, 2012
A superior genre effort, even if its chances of setting the box office on fire are less than zero.
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 10, 2012
Superbly constructed, pithily scripted and absurdly entertaining.
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 9, 2012
The closest Mel Gibson's come to playing Martin Riggs since the last Lethal Weapon.
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 6, 2012
It's too soon to tell but a technology like this is going to need a surprisingly-good flick to draw viewers to it. Get the Gringo is not a surprising flick in any way, unless you find mediocrity surprising.
| Original Score: 2/5 | May 1, 2012
Almost invigorating in its disreputability; it's both cheesy and striking, corny and bold, dismissible and yet strangely appealing for its singularity.
