Gringo
horizontal line

Foul language and inept kidnapping plots abound in this wacky, entertaining, predictable, star-dotted (Amanda Seyfried, Paris Jackson, Yul Vazquez, Harry Treadaway, and Alan Ruck), 110-minute dark comedic satire based on Matthew Stone's story in which a likable Nigerian pharmaceutical representative (David Oyelowo) in Chicago travels to Mexico with his shady, duplicitous, romantically involved bosses (Charlize Theron and Joel Edgerton) to visit a plant in Veracruz that will manufacture an experimental marijuana pill and then on discovering that his wife (Thandie Newton) is having an affair, he foolishly concocts a pseudo kidnapping scheme with two rundown hotel managers to make a few bucks only to become the target of a ruthless, Beatles-loving drug lord (Carlos Corona) and the black-ops former mercenary brother (Sharlto Copley) of his boss looking to cash in on millions in insurance.
