I have avoided this movie for a while mainly due to the title
thinking it was a campy, comedy about how stupid Americans are in Mexico.
Well, I was dead wrong. I decided to give this flick a try and was
really impressed. Mel can have his ups and downs but I still like his bad
ass characters. He plays a bank robber who ends up in a notorious Mexican
prison. One of the great quotes in this movie is when he arrives, looking
around says, "is this a prison or the worlds shittiest Mall?"
He gets tied up in the infrastructure of this place and the story gets
pretty good. Not to realistic, but damn, your watching a movie!
FYI: While filming Mel Gibson met a man suffering from a rare
cancer and wrote a letter to the US Embassy to get him admitted to an American
hospital for treatment, paying for everything.
