Roger Ebert

Chicago Sun-Times

There is a potentially wonderful story at the heart of Old Gringo, but the movie never finds it -- the screenplay blasts away in every direction except the bulls-eye.

Rated: 2/4

Creative Loafing

Truthfully, it isn't as bad as its reputation, registering less as an out-and-out disaster and more as a missed opportunity.

It's quite empty in story, but it has a good epic atmosphere, good characters and good interpretations.

One would think a movie with Gregory Peck playing Ambrose Bierce and starring Jane Fonda as the female lead would be a really fascinating flick, but Peck seems to flounder, Fonda acts like a flustered ditz, and the script is abysmal. A big disappointment.
