| Big Apple ReviewsHarvey S. KartenMore evidence that you don't need animation to supply cartoon characters. |
| Detroit NewsAdam GrahamMovies like this need to be airtight, but "Gringo" is a flimsy piece of pulp fiction. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfThe screenplay is determined to create a community of troubled folk and bad decisions, and little here translates to laughs, or any substantial reaction for that matter. |
| Tolucan TimesTony Medley...a good screwball comedy updated to include X-rated language...combines action with comedy and never drags. Unlike many new movies, this film celebrates color and light, a pleasure to watch...it's a gas. |
| SassyMamaInLACourtney HowardBeleaguered by problematic pacing issues, scenarios that never snap together easily, and horrendously-drawn characters, this is a placebo for what should be a rousing, raucous romp. |

| RogerEbert.comGlenn KennyA largely fun watch, a corporate crime tale of consistent tartness enacted by a superb cast. |

| UproxxEmma StefanskyIt’s an especially fun dark comedy from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose. |
