Total Film
A fun romp with a great comic performance from Oyelowo. Doesn’t linger, but you’ll enjoy it while it lasts. - 58
IndieWire
Aussie director Nash Edgerton loads up on some of his signatures, including lots of bad guys, tons of twists, and a dark sense of humor. Unfortunately, his sensibilities are dulled by a sprawling story that never quite snaps together. - 50
Arizona Republic
Gringo dabbles in several genres, none particularly well. - 50
Entertainment Weekly
While the fish-out-of-water caper is stuffed with whiplash turns and colorfully eccentric lowlife characters, it never adds up to much. It’s so busy you might think there’s more to it than they’re really is. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
A sometimes amusing, sometimes draggy and overstuffed affair that always relies on its talent-rich cast to carry the day. - 50
Variety
There’s an old-school, B-movie snap to much of the proceedings, which Nash Edgerton modernizes without imposing too flashy a style upon the material. It’s pulp, plain and simple, delivering on the chance to watch depraved characters navigate unseemly situations. - 50
Screen Daily
Director Nash Edgerton never really sinks his teeth into the delectable darkness of his hero’s nemeses, struggling to maintain the right acidic tone. - 40
The Guardian
The film periodically livens up, and Oyelowo shows that he can play comedy, but his performance isn’t given much guidance or room to grow and the direction is very flat and uninspired.
