Drivert, a hivatásos bűnözőt lekapcsolja a mexikói rendőrség, amikor a kocsijában egy rakás lopott pénzzel kétségbeesetten próbál átjutni a határon. A zsaruk a pénzt elveszik, őt pedig bedugják a hírhedt El Pueblito börtönbe, ahol mindent a börtönbandák irányítanak. Drivernek sem igazolványa, sem ujjlenyomata, mégis felkeresi az amerikai követség egy korrupt munkatársa, aki hallott a pénzről. Ha Driver nem fizet neki, elárulja a hatóságoknak, hol van, onnan pedig már csak idő kérdése, mikor találják meg azok is, akiktől a pénzt lopta. Driver tudja, hogy az élete a tét. Szerencséjére megismerkedik egy fiatal fiúval, aki megtanítja, hogyan élheti túl a börtönt, ám a srácnak van egy rettenetes titka: ugyanolyan ritka vércsoportja van, mint a bűnöző Javinak, aki élet és halál ura a börtönben. A fiú Javi életbiztosítása, és orvosok állnak állandó készenlétben, hogy átültessék Javiba a srác máját, ha eljött az ideje. Csakhogy ehhez Drivernek is van egy-két szava: vakmerő tervet eszel ki, hogy megszökjön a fiúval, annak anyjával és a pénzzel. (Pro Video Film)

Mel Gibson manned up and prepared an unorthodox drama from the prison environment in Mexico for his fans. A lot of things are hard to believe, but on the other hand, the movie is really nice to watch. Mel is properly macho, although he can show his emotions pretty well, too. But his schizophrenic character didn’t stop me from enjoying this well-made American-style action movie like from the good old 1990s. I thought it was a great throwback, and I’d love to see Mel in many more movies like this one.

Mixed feelings. An average action flick that looks like made for TV with cool moments, wannabe cool moments, smart moments, dumb moments, thrilling moments and boring moments alternating at irregular intervals. Overall, it’s not bad, the last remaining fans of Mel Gibson (both of them) will be happy, but I’m surely not going back to it.

Good old Porter, albeit unacknowledged and named differently in the film itself, in a Mexican mode (even with a pinch of umbrella Eastwood style on top). A likable, uncompromising and straightforward old-school genre movie that doesn't reveal or innovate anything, but what it comes up with is just damn good and absolutely functional in every way; even as far as the relationship is concerned.

"I was tortured by a Mariachi." Having given five stars to Payback, I can't give less to Get the Gringo. In fact, the film is equal to its older sibling in every way (and yes, even I claim that it is an unacknowledged sequel). Mel Gibson has simply returned to where I love him best, to those rough, straightforward waters in which he swims in unison, armed with equal measures of sarcasm and charm, and his actions in a simple but brilliantly contrived plot are a joy to behold. Just consider how many memorable moments Get the Gringo contains: The clowns, the bizarre prison, the top-notch shootout, "Clint Eastwood", the umbrella scene (which is probably the best in the whole film), the cornflake ending... It's just a really great piece of work. With perfect music and extremely confident debutant direction.

Gibson is back! A strange combination of a farce and a tough prison drama. The fact is that Get the Gringo revolves around Mel’s pretty face, his ability to get to grips with any problem and a good balance of humor and gloom. The action here is uncompromising blood splatter with a few nice ideas. This untraditional insight into the Mexican prison system would be a shame to miss and for Mel’s fans this is a balm to sooth the soul. Now what we need is a screenplay for Lethal Weapon 5... directed by Shane Black and everything will be fine. There's nothing worse than a sad clown... unless it's a clown bleeding internally and coughing it all over your money.
