Just finished watching the Blu-Ray of Get The Gringo and just wow.
Mel Gibson is bat shit crazy in real life, and he has some hits and misses when it comes to movies, and Get The Gringo is most definitely a hit. The movie was absolutely kick ass. If you have ever watched Payback, you can consider this Payback 2.
The movie is about a carrier criminal that robs 4 million dollars in the US but to escape US police crosses over to Mexico while being chased by cops and ends up in jail down there. Mexican jail depiction is absolutely absurd (or so I hope, because if even 10% of it turns out to be real that'd make it insane), and lots of action. And even when there isn't any action you are still glued to the screen waiting to see what will happen next. Lots of corruption on both US and Mexican sides.
Mel Gibson was simply awesome in this movie. The plot was great, the support characters are good and everything about this movie was awesome. The movie didn't have a SINGLE hot woman! I can't even remember a movie where they never included 1 hot chick for good measure. All the actors did SUCH a great job that the audience didn't even need to drool over a hot chick to enjoy the movie.
IMDB rating of 7.2 and my personal rating of 10! This is a MUST watch.
