Review For Get the Gringo |
Almost invigorating in its disreputability; it's both cheesy and striking, corny and bold, dismissible and yet strangely appealing for its singularity. Todd McCarthy-Hollywood Reporter
Gibson, for all his offscreen controversy, still has his star-quality charisma, and Grunberg is a worthy protege for the Oscar-winning writer/actor/director. Kofi Outlaw-ScreenRant
Get The Gringo is a passable addition to the action genre but it might have been better had the need to keep Gibson's fan base happy not been so pressing. Alan Diment-We Got This Covered
Get the Gringo is over-the-top fun in the cheapest of ways, but Gibson's comedy mixed with the multiple bloody shootouts makes it a worthwhile rental. Jeremy Lebens-We Got This Covered
This is a return to form for [Mel Gibson], playing a hard-edged tough-nut with personality. And it's easily his most charismatic role in over a decade. Matt Looker-TheShiznit.co.uk
Things start off a little too cute with that self-aware, annoying post-Pulp Fiction faux-clever tough-guy winking narration, but it kind of straightens up a bit once the story kicks in. Eric Melin-Scene-Stealers.com
an entertaining but trashy crime drama James Luxford-The National
It could have been too quirky for its own good, [but] as it stands... "Get the Gringo" is surprisingly good, coming out of left field the way it did. Witney Seibold-CraveOnline
Get the Gringo is a gritty film with some grizzled punch. Gibson himself gives a strong performance as a hardened criminal that still has some heart. Kevin Carr-7M Pictures
Might not be a Lethal Weapon-style comeback for Mel the Action Star, but it works well enough as a double feature with Gibson's underrated Payback. Scott Weinberg-Twitch
Full of violence and blood-spattered gunplay, it's a visually grotty film buoyed mainly by Gibson's never-say-die performance. Jim Schembri-3AW
Gibson embraces the crazy and turns Get the Gringo into some good ol pulpy fun. Alice Tynan-The Vine
A film that's akin to a Mexican Guy Ritchie flick. The mix of gangsters and gunplay works well and there is a dry sense of humour that runs throughout most of the film's dialogue. Cameron Williams-The Popcorn Junkie
Gibson dusts off his tough-as-nails, devil-may-care persona Tom Clift-Moviedex
Get the Gringo sees the return of bad ass Mel, the macho-macho man, all gravelly voice, misanthropic sadness and two-steps-ahead conman. Luke Buckmaster-Crikey
Gibson's character gives a ten year old kid (who becomes a major character, without ever becoming a brat) a cigarette, and the kid lights it up and smokes it. Try getting MGM, Universal, Paramount or Disney to release that. CJ Johnson-ABC Radio (Australia)
The lead role didn't necessarily require someone younger but it needed an actor with more flair and charisma. Matthew Toomey-ABC Radio Brisbane
Whether there's an agenda underpinning the film or not, Gibson is clearly back in his element here, with plenty of wind still in his sails. Ed Gibbs-The Sun Herald
It hardly matters that Mel, rigid as a dried out cadaver, has but a hint of his former on-screen confidence; no one is going to see it. Ed Whitfield-The Ooh Tray
