- Actually, although theres a lot wrong with the film, its a generally effective entry in the Mexican Revolution genre of post-Western melodramas, following such greates as Viva Villa!, VivaZapata!, Vera Cruz, The Wild Bunch and A Bullet For The General.

Reviews. Old Gringo. Action. 119 minutes ‧ R ‧ 1989. Roger Ebert. October 6, 1989. 3 min read. There is a potentially wonderful story at the heart of “Old Gringo,” but the movie never finds it – the screenplay blasts away in every direction except the bulls-eye.

Old Gringo is a terrific historical drama of the kind Hollywood wasn't tackling much in 1989, when Batman was the movie to beat. This period movie set in the Mexican revolution is at heart a faithful adaptation of a modern Latin American novel, and as such isn't boxoffice material.
