[IMDB] [Amazon]
get the gringo is essentially a remake of payback, which also starred mel gibson. get the gringo replaces the city with a jail, the escort-for-hire with a mom, and the dog with a 10-year-old boy. everything else is essentially the same. mel gibson does very well in the gentleman antihero role, and the story is satisfying in its way, though you would not be wrong to also mark it as predictable. if you have the option to watch payback instead, you should absolutely go for it. payback had less of a racist vibe and took itself less seriously.
get the gringo gets three gringos.
