Movie Review ‘Gringo’: The Titular Gringo Is Hilarious, Everyone Else, Slightly Less So

Updated:

The best actors do comedy and drama equally well. At the extremes, there are Daniel Day-Lewis and Jim Carrey. Of course, you can’t say three-Oscar Day-Lewis isn’t a “best” actor; the comedic things he does in “My Left Foot” are the height of tragic-comedic talent. But generally speaking, if you want drama, you call Day-Lewis.
