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. Read critic reviews

Gringo's alright but here's the thing, the crime-caper-clusterfuck hasn't just been done better before, it's been done better before by the same director.

Call me crazy, but I really enjoyed myself. The many plot elements and characters may not necessarily be as fleshed out as well as they could be, but they serve their necessary purpose to entertaining effect. And yeah, the "weed pill" is more a catalyst for the action as a whole rather than a topic of discussion, but the dark ensemble comedy pitch works and as a result I dug way more of this than I didn't. -Oyelowo raps an entire verse of "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It" and nails it -Theron does Mavis Gary, but from a different angle and steals every scene in which she appears. -It (literally) took me two whole minutes to realize that was Paris Jackson -Sharlto Copley is a South African treasure and should be utilized far more than he has been since 2009. -"That's like paying a $1,000 for a Whopper Jr." Not a whopper, but a whopper jr.. I'm right there with ya. I'll give this another go to see if I can catch what so many are complaining about, but I hope it's the other way around and people come to appreciate this eventually. Unfortunately, those who've already seen this will likely never happen across it again.

Like a Mad Magazine story about the greed of capitalists gone mad this has it's moments. The story concerns one middle manager type (David Oyelowo) who discovers in the course of living his life that everyone he knows is into some sort of money hustle and is dissing him behind his back because he isn't. And so he decides to get in on the action. Joel Edgerton and Cherlize Theron are great as backstabbing lovers, and the action moves along briskly enough. I had some fun with this.
