A career criminal (Mel Gibson) nabbed by Mexican authorities is placed in a tough prison where he learns to survive with the help of a young boy (Kevin Hernandez).
Not only was this movie incredibly entertaining and action-packed... possibly Mel Gibson's best film in a decade... but it was also educational. I learned about El Pueblito prison (which apparently is a lot like the film portrays it to be) and "Bombay blood", a blood type so rare that only 0.0004% of people have it.
Urban Cinefile said, "Mel Gibson is back doing what he knows, playing a flawed character with redeeming qualities who is also a resourceful tough guy." Precisely! Steve Sailer said the film is "far above the average 2012 film and wittily recapitulates Mel's career." Also true!
