SO THIS BLACK GRINGO
Denzel washington can walk in the most dangerous streets of mexico, reach the mafia boss brother, destroy everthing and save the day, it just dont work for me.
I think its a bad movie, reminds me commando.
lets remember that this "black gringo" was one of the best former CIA assassins.
shareOk, but a 6'4" black gringo in the slums of Mexico would be as unnoticed as a 80-years old lady in a Rage Against the Machine concert.
shareFirst of all Denzel is 6'0". Secondly the averatge citizen wasn't looking for Denzel's character, only the crooked organizations were.
I meant, on heels...
Secondly, if you ever been in Mexico, you will know that pure black people are rare in Mexico. If you see a black gringo roaming in a slum, either he is a lost crazy tourist or somebody looking for trouble...
DEA agent, anyone?
First of all, What does that have to do with the movie?
Secondly, for your information, there are Afro-Mexicans in the Costa Chica region of Mexico.
I said "pure black people are rare in Mexico". No "there are not black people in Mexico at all". There is a lot of difference.
Yes, I know there are some settlements with african descendants in Guerrero and Veracruz, but answering your first question: It has a lot to do, since if you see a huge black man roaming in the slums of Mexico City, you could wonder "what's wrong with this picture?", wouldn't you?
Certainl a dark-skinned man would be less noticeable than a white man. White men are a target in Mexico these days.
