HOW I SPENT MY SUMMER VACATION
So Mel Gibson can't control his mouth when he drinks. He gets into trouble with the police and pretty much everyone else with his racist views... then just when everyone has given up on his and starts calling him a has been, he whips out a great film like this.
The movie is about a criminal called Driver, who gets arrested crossing the Mexican border who ends up in a rough prison. But this prison is like no other. Men, Women and children are here. It is like a little town. The problem is this town is run by a bunch of ruthless criminals who do not care who they hurt. Driver just wants to get out and get his money from the police officers who arrested him and kept his stolen money. He gets a friend inside the prison who he looks out for... a 10 year old boy.
OK, so a good movie does not forgive Mel for his actions or his views, but if you forget his personal life and just look at his career, then the man can act and has made some fantastic movies.
This is not one of his best, but it proves he still has it in him.
The story is very good. I like the idea of a prison where the inmates start up their own little town. Mels character was brilliant. Driver took no trouble from anyone and was not scared of anyone. I loved the way he didn't let anyone stand in his way.
The movie might be called in Get the Gringo in parts of the world.
The casting was really good. Mel Gibson does a great job as I have said before. I look forward to seeing him in The Expendables 3. I just hope he sorts out his personal issues. Other cast members were Kevin Hernandez, Daniel Gimenez Cacho, Jesus Ochoa and Dolores Heredia. The whole cast was great... but Kevin Hernandez was brilliant. He played his part so well. It was shocking at first, but very well done.
The action is good and the movie is a lot of fun.
Mel is back and I hope he manages to get his fans back.
I will give this film 7 out of 10.
"Well, boys and girls. To the untrained eye it looks as if crime pays, doesn't it? But bear in mind, for guys with my particular set of karmic could-be's, there was bound to be a bump or two down the road. Ah, what the hell. I'm going to enjoy what's left of the summer..."
