Gringo, Rated R.
Starring: Joel Edgerton, David Oyelowo, Amanda
Seyfried, Charlize Theron, Yul Vazquez, Thandie Newton, Sharlto Copley
Brief Summary: Combining dark comedy with dramatic intrigue, Gringo joyrides across the border into Mexico, where all is not as it seems for mild-mannered American businessman Harold Soyinka (David Oyelowo). Crossing the line from citizen to criminal, Harold tangles with duplicitous business partners, Mexican drug lords, international mercenaries, and the DEA. As he attempts to survive in one of the most dangerous places on earth, the question lingers: is this ordinary man in way over his head, or is he two steps ahead? (source: iTunes)
Again, this is how I'm going to review this movie. I will be basing it on a 5-star (☆) system on these 8 categories. Action, Suspense, Comedy, Drama, Scare Factor, Romance, Adult Content, & Overall Score.
So, let's get started...
Action: ☆
There is little action in this movie.
Suspense:
There was no suspense in this movie.
Comedy:
Even though this movie is listed as a comedy, & my wife chuckled a couple of times, there was no comical scenes in this movie.
Drama: ☆
There was little drama in this movie.
Scare Factor:
There was no scary scenes in this movie.
Romance:
There was no romance in this movie.
Adult Content: ☆☆☆☆
There was quite a bit of adult content in this movie. This is based on language & little violence gore, but there was no nudity in this movie.
Overall Score:

Overall Score:
This was a horrible
movie overall. To tell you the truth, I really didn’t want to see this movie.
The trailer just didn’t look good to me. I was just saying to myself throughout
the whole movie, “When is this movie going to be over!” Save your money or go
see something else. We’ll Not be getting this movie when it comes out on
DVD/Blu-ray.
End Credits: There was no clips in or after the
credits.
