Critics consensus

“Energetic and hard-hitting, Get the Gringo plays squarely to its lead actor's strengths as a skilled portrayer of men put through physical and emotional hell.”

RTDaily Telegraph (UK)May 11, 2012

[Gibson] and the boy make the kind of cross-generational double act that deservedly went out of fashion with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, although it's superficially toughened up with bad language and cigarettes.

[A] lively, non-PC caper-thriller, with touches of Elmore Leonard and Quentin Tarantino...

The plot thickens to the density of Semtex, then explodes.

RTDeep Focus ReviewOct 4, 2022

Part prison movie, part crime-centric actioner, part comedy, and part portrait of official corruption in Mexico, it never quite comes together.
