How I Spent My Summer Vacation

Plan your getaway

Mel Gibson is finally back after upsetting some people, with a film which seems to have found more favour with the crowds than the critics. Known abroad as ''Get the Gringo'', he plays a man apprehended by the Mexican authorities, and sent to a hardcore prison where he enters a strange and dangerous world. Not an easy place for an outsider, unless it's with the help of someone who knows the ropes: a 10-year-old kid.

93 minutes.
No persons under 16 (Language, Violence, Drug abuse).
Action, Crime, Drama, Thriller.

Don't confuse me with Michael Jackson.
