Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Pluskylang Great Film overall

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Joseph Su'a First of all, I haven't seen Get The Gringo, so I won't compare the two. Now, El Gringo has a small plot; Man has a bag, hides in Mexico, and once people find out there's a large amount of money in the bag, they hunt him down. There's a couple of twists and turns, which are poorly executed. The acting isn't Oscar worthy, the dialogue is pure cheese, the humor feels out of place, the editing is effed up choppy, but the action sequences are awesome and was enough to hold my interest. I'd say it's the type of movie I'd have playing in the background while I'm doing other things. Just because I'm giving it a low rating doesn't mean it's bad.4/10

regstir-imdb Basically a no-brainer b-grade gun fighting, action-packed flick wherein the director cannot make up his mind whether to keep the hero as the better fighter or the initial scary villain as the baddest guy.Some of the scenes make you wince for its predictability or non-originality.Terrific photography from all sorts of angles, new fight techniques and loud music make it thoroughly enjoyable on surround sound.Subtle humor with the mongrel and fight scenes wherein the bad guy gets very upset whenever he loses his hat make the movie intriguing.Romantic scene when she heals his wounds a nice turn on.Lack of logic in many scenes like why the gang would not see what is in the bag which the hero desperately tried to retain.If you can look the other way at some of the absurdity and inanity, you might enjoy this if you like movies like Machete, by the other Rodriguez.

FlashCallahan I like Adkins. In the past few years he has been making some decent movies, and he has the potential to be a big Direct to DVD star, just like we had back in the eighties.But this is just a mess. Take one part Desperado, one part Payback, and mingle Michael Bay with Robert Rodriguez, and then take away any urgency, humour or clever writing, you get this.It's the same tired story. Drifter comes into town, pulls the barmaid, has a few scuffles with the local gang, who are always in cahoots with the Sheriff, and then later in the film, you get an extended cameo from someone who was big twenty years ago, and then just shoot guns.I'm even boring myself writing about it. It's way to long, if they had trimmed twenty minutes of it, it still would have been dodgy, but at least I wouldn't have been as bored.We get endless shots of Adkins looking concerned or perplexed, and if some tried to take his bag once, they tried at least fifteen times. It was beyond silly how many times his bag was threatened.It's not Adkins fault, he hasn't been given a good script, he's okay, but he's a lot better in other movies.It could have been good, but my gosh, it's a stinker.Shame on you Joel Silver, you produced Die hard...

Destroyer Wod Personally i am not a fan of these type of movies usually, the "desperado" style. But as a Scott Adkins movie, i had to see it. It was released under Bullet here in quebec, don't know why, as its so generic of a title... Anyway took me a couple weeks after the DVD release to finally watch it, the reviews had me nervous, but I'm glad i decided to watch it anyway.Scott Adkins can't be Boyka in every movie, and as much as i love that character, it would be bad for him to just play it again and again. Here he is a more ordinary police officer on the run and pretty much fight like your usual big guy hitting hard. A lot of gun fights also but there is enough hand to hand to keep the fans of it satisfy.The movie has a couple jokes and funny lines, i really laugh hard at one scene in particular, and the "cheap filming" style didn't bothered me too much, even tough its made like that for artistic purpose.It will not be remembered as Scott Adkins best movie for sure, but its a decent enough action movie in the no brainer category. It serve its purpose well.One thing i find funny tough, Christian Slater is on the cover like he is some major character but he is not... not at all, really its kind of funny to see they almost blocked Adkins to show him because at one point he had Star Power... but nowadays he just play in low budget movies and get crappy roles, more or less always a wimp...
