Get the Gringo
In this drama, directed by Adrian Grunberg, Gibson plays as a career criminal nabbed by Mexican authorities. He is placed in a tough prison where he learns to survive with the help of a young boy. Co-starring Kevin Hernandez and Daniel Giménez Cacho. Grunberg:
There are elements of Mel in there—especially the comedic elements, which are very Mel. You never know what this guy has been through in the movie. You know, we never tell you what he’s done in the past. It doesn’t really matter because he redeems himself in the end.
