Come on, you know who Sharlto Copley is.

Yes, the guy from District 9 and Chappie and those odd Neill Blomkamp short films.

Sharlto, along with our most famous movie export, star in a new dark comedy called Gringo, which hits theatres overseas on March 9, and in SA on March 23.

It’s pretty clear from the opening of the trailer that Charlize is up to no good, but we’ll start with the synopsis:

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?

My money is on out of his depth:
