Movie Rating
Edge of Payback
Get The Gringo- it reminds of Payback and Edge of Darkness. A revenge film with action, drama, comedy and suspense. Unlike Payback and Edge of Darkness which were decent films. I actually like Get The Gringo.

The plot: A youngster helps an American career criminal (Mel Gibson) learn to survive behind the walls of a brutal Mexican prison.

A good action packed prison survival film.

"Found my Dad’s old copy in the basement when I was in seventh grade. I’ve read it many times since. It’s always a pleasure spending a few days learning from brother Malcolm. You can feel the depth of his care and his sincere hope for your survival in every page. If he wasn’t a friend and a hero before you started reading, you’ll have to make some room for him."

"Another lush world of women — this one an infectious, absurd, darkly comic riot. I loved the politics, the fun, and the calculated double-crossing, manipulative fights for survival and favor. The cinematography (wide lenses, and extreme angles) along with the exquisite performances just spun the whole thing faster and funnier. But Olivia Colman, un-self-conscious, specific and wild in her commitment to the role made the whole thing sublime."
