Charlize Theron, Joel Edgerton, Thandiwe Newton, David Oyelowo, Amanda Seyfried, and Sharlto Copley in Gringo (2018)

A mix of dark comedy, white-knuckle action, and dramatic intrigue, 'Gringo' takes mild-mannered businessman Harold Soyinka (David Oyelowo) to Mexico, where he finds himself at the mercy of his back-stabbing business colleagues back home, local drug lords, and a morally conflicted black-ops mercenary.

Zusammenfassung

Reviewers say 'Gringo' offers a mixed experience with standout performances from David Oyelowo, Charlize Theron, and Joel Edgerton. The film's satirical take on corporate greed and dark comedy elements are appreciated by some, while others criticize its erratic pacing and excessive profanity. Despite the perceived lack of coherent plot development and flat humor, the unpredictable twists and dynamic cast make it an occasionally thrilling and humorous watch.

Try it you'll like it!

This movie was really funny and full of talented actors. Daniel Oyelowo holds it all together as the hapless protagonist. A cavalcade of goofy criminals and clever plot twists and turns keep it speeding along at a fast clip. Loads of fun.

People are crazy on here. Straight up crazy.

I don't know how you could get more out of an action comedy. The story was GREAT. The acting was GREAT. If you like a fast-pasted Guy-Ritchie-type of film-dialing the action scenes back a notch and the acting and script up a notch-then watch. All I have to say, no spoilers needed.

How can anyone not enjoy this movie.

Ok it's not the smartest story line but it was what it was supposed to be just a fun, story of an underdog. I can't stand 1 and 2 raters small minds for small reviews. Strong 7.5 not quite an 8 though

fun caper

Read the review by "scattershooting" to get the gist of the movie. I just want to add, that while I don't disagree with the review, I want to encourage you to see the film. it is well written and acted and you'll have a good time. it's a movie after all. it's not a sin to aim too high.

Wissenswertes
The character of Harold was rewritten to have a Nigerian background after David Oyelowo was cast. Oyelowo pitched director Nash Edgerton on the earnest naivety that such a character could bring.

Patzer
When the bartender calls Black Panther to come after Harold, his phone's screen stays on, showing the actual time, instead of going blank.

Zitate
Harold Soyinka: [Referring to Peter and Judas from the Bible] One was a man who had a crisis of faith and the other was a man who sold his soul for personal gain. So, you have to decide which one you want to be.
