Watch the red band trailer for Gringo starring David Oyelowo, Charlize Theron and Joel Edgerton

December 20, 2017 by Ricky Church

Amazon and STXfilms have released a red band trailer for their upcoming dark comedy, Gringo, from director Nash Edgerton. The film stars David Oyelowo (Selma), Charlize Theron (Atomic Blonde), Joel Edgerton (Bright), Amanda Seyfried (Les Miserables), Thandie Newton (Westworld) and Sharlto Copley (District 9) and sees Oyelowo getting mixed up with the world of drug cartels. Check out the trailer and synopsis for the film below…

An exhilarating mix of dark comedy, white-knuckle action and dramatic intrigue, Gringo joyrides into Mexico, where mild-mannered businessman Harold Soyinka (David Oyelowo) finds himself at the mercy of his back-stabbing business colleagues back home, local drug lords and a morally conflicted black-ops mercenary. Crossing the line from law-abiding citizen to wanted criminal, Harold battles to survive his increasingly dangerous situation in ways that raise the question: Is he out of his depth – or two steps ahead?
