On the Line (20%)
Hot Seat (15%)
Father Stu (43%)
Agent Game (21%)
Panama (7%)
Dangerous (29%)

Force of Nature (8%)

In recent years, these movies are mostly met with negative criticism. But there was an interesting flip!

Desperation Road (with 60%)
Bandit ( with 71%)
Last Looks ( with 67%)

Gibson's Recent Work

While his popularity waned due to legal challenges. Mel Gibson started to star in a new group of independent movies as a way of working around those issues and has found a way to keep himself busy in a great way!

It really looks like he’s getting back on the right path! And maybe he has to do so through a couple of indie releases that may be good to have those in your catalog. This new release came in the middle of what some say might be his new resurgence to the top of the industry.

You can even catch Mel Gibson's movie, "Hacksaw Ridge", which is a critically acclaimed war movie. His success also garnered a 2017 Oscar nomination as director.

There are certainly fans who are waiting to see what this movie has in store, and there might just be some more upcoming projects.

"Passion of the Christ 2" will be on the big screen soon as well!

It's clear there have been so many great films and roles! Yet, his career seems a bit unsure if his latest releases have shown his best!

Fans are interested in seeing "Passion of the Christ 2. which has great momentum! To be successful the films have to have critical and popular impact and Monster Summer doesn't quite appear to fit that mold. That's not to say that there isn't another Mel Gibson film that could hit it big in the box office.

With the upcoming release, the movie might be his chance to reclaim the big screen!

With such an accomplished history, it's great to see how this story may continue!
