IndieWireDrew TaylorMay 12, 2018
People might not find it all that pleasurable, but “Get the Gringo” is, refreshingly, 100% Mel. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyMay 12, 2018
Gibson still has all the energy, impulsive gear-shifting ability and growly vocal command to anchor a muscular film such as this; he co-wrote it for himself, after all, and he certainly knows by now what he does best. Hernandez is entirely credible as a tough little customer with real guts, and all the actors playing bad guys seize their opportunities with relish. Read full review

VarietyPeter DebrugeMay 12, 2018
Gibson knows how to play to the camera, and Grunberg is savvy enough to maximize what the star gives, spinning a slick package around the crazy scenario. Read full review

Total FilmJames MottramMay 12, 2018
If the story doesn’t strain itself in pursuit of originality, it does build to a satisfying conclusion. Read full review

EmpireDan JolinMay 12, 2018
A Mex-set spaghetti Western featuring toilet humour, organ transplants and the closest Mel Gibson’s come to playing Martin Riggs since the last Lethal Weapon. Read full review

The GuardianPeter BradshawMay 12, 2018
However agonising it is to admit it, this film isn't half bad, a sparky black-comic actioner with a cute "con trick" scene showcasing Gibson's Clint Eastwood impression. Read full review

Time OutTom HuddlestonMay 12, 2018
There’s no escaping the fact that this is a nasty, vicious little film – the climax is startlingly unpleasant. But with its sharp dialogue, beautifully streamlined story and fistful of surprises, the Mel haters are going to have to find another brickbat for now. Read full review

Boston GlobeTom RussoMay 12, 2018
Subpar stuff with a few multiplex-worthy bits: a gonzo opening chase with the US Border Patrol, some wisecracking narration, and grungy location atmosphere. [15 July 2012, p.N10]

We Got This CoveredAlan DimentMay 12, 2018
Get The Gringo is a passable addition to the action genre but it might have been better had the need to keep Gibson’s fan base happy not been so pressing. Read full review

The TelegraphRobbie CollinMay 12, 2018
Gibson wisecracks with a weary panache, and the tech credits are sharp: production designer Bernardo Trujillo and director of photography Benoît Debie make El Pueblito look almost as disreputable as their leading man’s pebbledashed phizog. Read full review
