Vacaciones en el infierno
Directed by Adrian GrünbergEn “Vacaciones en el infierno” conoceremos a Driver (Mel Gibson), un tipo que ha tenido un mal día. Y la cosa no mejora para él: se ha hecho con un botín de millones de dólares que le habría proporcionado unas vacaciones de verano memorables, pero esta idea se vino literalmente abajo. Durante una persecución automovilística a toda velocidad con la policía de la frontera y un cuerpo sangrando en el asiento trasero, Driver vuelca el coche y lo estampa contra el muro fronterizo para terminar cabeza abajo en México. Capturado por las autoridades mexicanas, le envían a una cárcel de mala muerte, donde se adentrará en el peligroso mundo de El Pueblito. No lo tendrá fácil para sobrevivir un forastero como él, a menos que sea con la ayuda de alguien que sepa de qué cabo tirar en cada momento: un niño de 10 años.

- Dan Chapman8 de enero de 2026Get the Gringo is one of those late-career Mel Gibson vehicles that often flies under the radar, but for those who catch it, it’s a reminder of just how strong a screen presence Gibson can be when given the right material. Coming not long after his much-publicised fall from grace, it marked one of his first major headline roles in the post-DUI chapter of his career, and it plays directly to his strengths. Directed by Adrian Grunberg, the film is a slick, stylish, and confidently paced thriller that makes excellent use of Gibson’s trademark blend of dry comedy and tough-guy action. His unnamed “Driver” is a morally ambiguous antihero—a thief with a sardonic wit and a knack for survival—who lands in a bizarre, sprawling Mexican prison that feels like a society within itself. This unique setting gives the film both atmosphere and novelty, setting it apart from the more generic thrillers of the period. The plot itself is solid without being overly complex. It leans on familiar beats—corruption, double-crosses, desperate survival—but it’s executed with enough confidence and wit to feel fresh. The supporting characters are well realised, particularly the young boy with whom Gibson’s character forms an unlikely bond, which adds heart to a film that might otherwise be all grit and gunfire. The villains are suitably menacing without tipping into caricature, and the layered world of the prison keeps the narrative engaging throughout. Stylistically, Get the Gringo has the energy and swagger of Gibson’s earlier action films while incorporating a more mature edge. Grunberg stages the action cleanly and with flair, but he also allows for quieter moments where Gibson’s sardonic commentary drives the film forward. It’s not groundbreaking by any means, but it knows what kind of movie it wants to be—and it delivers that with style and confidence. In many ways, the film plays like a rougher, more world-weary cousin to Gibson’s earlier antihero roles in Payback, or even Lethal Weapon. The same mix of charm, wit, and danger is there, but this time with a harder, more cynical edge that reflects both the character’s circumstances and Gibson’s own evolving screen persona. Get the Gringo stands as a reminder of Gibson’s enduring talents as a leading man. While it never set out to reinvent the genre, it’s top-drawer work within its field: a sharp, entertaining, and well-crafted action thriller that plays to its star’s unique charisma. For those with a soft spot for Gibson, and his unique blend of action and humour, it’s a film that more than earns its cult appreciation.
