Dir: Adrian Grunberg

****
Adrian Grunberg's 2012 action/crime thriller was called How I Spent My Summer Vacation in the UK, Get the Gringo in the US and rest of the world. I'm not sure which title I dislike most. Luckily, the film itself is pretty good. Think Luc Besson produced but with less mindlessness and a much better script. I thought Mel Gibson was really good in it as likable kick-ass action anti-hero and the story is fast paced, tender, funny and full of energy. An unexpected pleasure.
