Critics Consensus

Gringo rounds up a bafflingly overqualified cast for a misfire of a comedy that's fatally undermined by its messy plot, poorly conceived characters, and obvious debts to better films.

The best and most reliable crypto recovery expert service for me ever goes to CYBER GENIE HACK PRO! Wow; these guys are so good at their job and their customer service relationship is so friendly and reliable. I made a huge error with a transaction at work, sending $68,000 worth of BTC to the wrong wallet address. Tension arose and I was literally shaking even while I searched online for a possible solution. I contacted the customer support of the wallet address provider but they said they couldn't help. I was about to pay my company money I never spent till I read something about CYBER GENIE HACK PRO Recovery services and I immediately contacted them. Because the money hadn't been withdrawn and contacted on time, they were able to retrace the transaction, and the money was credited back to the company's wallet swiftly. How would I have explained to the company I am innocent, CYBER GENIE saved my life. "http: // cybergeniehackpro (.) x y z " (+12)(5)(25)(12)(03)(91)..

In a world where laughter is the best medicine, Gringo is the ultimate prescription. Prepare to be charmed, amused, and downright tickled by its sheer comedic brilliance.

Commedia d'azione piena di personaggi ecclettici e fantasiosi che riempiono la trama e ne permettono i continui capovolgimenti di fronte. Si sente l'assenza di un vero personaggio cool che stia dalla parte dei buoni e che si distingua dalla bizzarria dei comportamenti di tutti. La sceneggiatura è un continuo colpo di scena mantenendo però costante quella sensazione di commedia che non abbandona nemmeno nelle sequenze che potrebbero essere più drammatiche. Quello che a tratti sembra un omaggio a Ritchie, finisce per essere qualcosa di già visto come intenzioni; rendere tutto il più bizzarro possibile pur di mantenere leggero il prodotto.

Sets up well in the first half, comes apart in the second half and loses focus. Resolution is lacking.

Pharmaceutical company representative heads south of the border to Mexico where he advises his unscrupulous boss that he's being held for ransom. Dark comedy, although the laughs aren't aplenty. There are some darkly funny moments, but mostly feels like a movie that wants to be cooler than it ultimately is. Charlize Theron is excellent in her role. David Oyelowo, Joel Edgerton and Sharlto Copley star. Great cast but somehow the film doesn't come together as well as it should.

Despite corralling Charlize Theron, Joel Edgerton, Thandie Newton and David Oyelowo into its incredible cast, Gringo is, at best, an inept attempt at a dark comedy.

A movie created by someone who has ever actually been to Mexico and thought to pay attention to more than kidnapping scares and cartel nightmares.

Deep Focus Review

Double-crosses and twists saturate the material, leaving Gringo with a modest degree of unpredictability that keeps the viewer guessing, albeit with few moments of levity or any genuine investment in the characters.

Rated: 2/4

Feels old fashioned, like it has been sitting around on a shelf somewhere, hidden from view since the 1990s.
