Combining dark comedy with dramatic intrigue, Gringo joyrides across the border into Mexico, where all is not as it seems for mild-mannered American businessman Harold Soyinka (David Oyelowo). Crossing the line from citizen to criminal, Harold tangles with duplicitous business partners, Mexican drug lords, international mercenaries, and the DEA. As he attempts to survive in one of the most dangerous places on earth, the question lingers: is this ordinary man in way over his head, or is he two steps ahead? Directed by Nash Edgerton, who made his feature length directorial debut with the acclaimed Australian thriller The Square, Gringo also stars Joel Edgerton, Amanda Seyfried, Charlize Theron, Yul Vazquez, Thandie Newton, and Sharlto Copley. Financed by Amazon Studios, the film is written by Anthony Tambakis and Matthew Stone, and produced by Rebecca Yeldham, Nash Edgerton, Beth Kono, A.J. Dix, Charlize Theron and Anthony Tambakis.

It's hard for me to go into detail about why I did not enjoy "Gringo" as much as I wanted, or even as I feel I should have. It's one of those things you can't really put a finger on...you just know you didn't like it.March 09, 2018

'Pleasant surprise' might be a misnomer for Gringo.March 09, 2018
I left the theater vaguely annoyed - as if the filmmakers had thrown away some promising ideas and elements in weaving together a thoroughly generic chase movie and pretending it's something special by employing ineffective stylistic choices.March 09, 2018
Dust off those spec scripts, all you as-yet-unsuccessful scribes - Hollywood's apparently paying anyone these days.April 10, 2018
The presence of this film can only be compared to, if anything, finding the expiration date of a newly purchased item to be ten or twenty years old. [Full Review in Spanish]March 20, 2018

Gringo has some real snap to the action scenes, and just the right level of craziness.May 18, 2018
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.March 19, 2018
Cacophonous action and Charlize Theron: ideal plan for a Saturday night. [Full review in Spanish]March 09, 2018
Director Nash Edgerton and screenwriters Anthony Tambakis and Matthew Stone do a fine job of juggling the multiple story lines, moving things along at an entertaining clip.March 09, 2018
Movies like this need to be airtight, but "Gringo" is a flimsy piece of pulp fiction.
