Noticing A Pattern
Can anyone name a Mel Gibson movie that doesn't include some (inclusive) disjunction of execution, mental or physical torture, and character(s) trying to get themselves killed? I, for one, am stumped.
Maverick? Gibson's character escapes hanging and then gets his native American friend to hire a crazy Russian to hunt him for sport. The Patriot? His avenges his son's murder with a tomahawk to the head. What Women Want? Gibson gains the ability to read women's minds after electrocuting himself. Mad Max? I've only seen Mad Max 2, in which Max leaves the Gyro Captain to die in the desert. Conspiracy Theory? Check. Braveheart? Let's get real. Hamlet? The rest is silence. The Passion Of Gay BDSM? Uh, right. Pocahontas? Poca-freaking-Disneyfied-hontas? John Smith is sentenced to die. I've never seen the Lethal Weapons, but I've got a hunch. We Were Soldiers speaks for itself.
Doesn't everything make a bit more sense in the wake of Gibson's decision to bathe himself in putrid anti-Semitic bile?

I think you're leaving out his 1995 blockbuster, "Man, What A Bunch Of Kikes!". It didn't do well at the box office, but Michael Medved loved it!

Hah! Good call Dan. Shorter Medved review of The Passion: We kikes had better own up to our Christ-killing, or else a rising wave of global anti-Kikism is no one's fault but our own. (And do track down the review and read it if you think I'm exaggerating.)
