Get the Gringo

Don't believe anything the poster above tells you. The movie isn't called "How I Spent My Summer Vacation" nor is it coming out this summer (unless you call DTV coming out). With this movie, Mel has entered the "Late 90's early 00's Schwarzenegger" stage of his career.

The movie tries to be Payback's Porter South of the Border. Mostly because it centers around a tough guy who's focused on getting his money back. Only this time, he's stuck in a Mexican jail community. People are allowed to come and go in this jail. I'm not sure if it is based on a real thing, but it was one of the harder parts of the plot for me to believe. The other part was one of the jailhouse residents who apparently live in a jail penthouse and keep kids to have liver transplants. Never mind.

Did you enjoy it?
Eh.

Would you see it in theaters again?
Good luck with that.

Would you buy it?
Nerp.

Would you rent it?
No.

Would you watch it if you saw it was on TV?
Unlikely.
