7.3/10 I was bored this Friday night, so I decided to see a movie. Knowing nothing about Gringo, I decided to just go see it. Honestly, I was not super let down. It was an overall entertaining film, with very well placed humor, that gave an otherwise serious plot, a sense of lightheartedness. David Oyelowa was a perfect fit for the role of Harold - the kind of guy that takes everything literally, and deals with what life gives him. The film is about him developing out of that, and it is hilarious to see some of his reactions. Charlize Theron was unfortunately the only other actor that did a standout job, as everyone else was just OK. I wish she was in a larger percentage of the movie. Ultimately, this was a very enjoyable watch, just don't expect too much depth beyond the main character.

Well that coulda went better

I went in thinking this was going to be a full blown comedy and what I got was more of a drama with a few jokes. That's not a bad thing but it's definitely should be known. There were a couple of good laughs, fewer than I expected. The tone of this movie was a little all over. One second they are making jokes and then they are shooting people. There are a lot of big name actors in this and they are all fine. This is nothing special but a decent movie if you have a couple of hours to kill.

It's an entertaining chase film that goes in a million wacky directions, most of them fairly fun. Oyelowo is immensely likeable in his nice guy role. There's an impressive cast to back him up too.

This movie feels a lot like a Guy Richie movie, even though it is not. It is also not quite as good as the best Guy Richie movies, but still very entertaining. Lots of weird characters doing lots of weird things to the point where it starts to feel like being too much at one point … as in most Guy Richie movies. But good fun!
