About
You’ll likely enjoy El Gringo if you want relentless B-movie action and don’t mind a shaky, underwritten setup; Not for you if you want a smart story, polished pacing, or the vibe of Smokin' Aces or Last Man Standing.
Pros: nonstop gunfights; standout action hero; some fun thrills | Cons: thin story; choppy direction; weak dialogue
