Gringo
An exhilarating mix of dark comedy, white-knuckle action and dramatic intrigue, Gringo joyrides into Mexico, where mild-mannered businessman Harold Soyinka (David Oyelowo) finds himself at the mercy of his back-stabbing business colleagues back home, local drug lords and a morally conflicted black-ops mercenary. Crossing the line from law-abiding citizen to wanted criminal, Harold battles to survive his increasingly dangerous situation in ways that raise the question: Is he out of his depth – or two steps ahead?
Critic Reviews:
- " A very good direction, an inspired cast and a self-conscious and exaggerated microcosm that will delight all those who need a good dose of cynicism. " – Víctor López G.
- " An oft-hilarious, though not entirely seamless outing that survives mostly on the talented ensemble at its core. " – Peter Gray
- " Oyelowo is well cast in his role as a man who gets tired of being kicked around, and the stuff he has to resort to in order to survive are not only funny, but also believable. " – S. Indra Sathiabalan
