The Boys of Ghost Town

The start of this film captures the true lost and distant emotion of a man who lived his life incarcerated, which is often overlooked in gangster movies. But The boys of ghost town definitely wont hold back on the shock and suspense that is expected of a classic action flick. Leading man Manuel Garcia's performance as 'Danny" was emotional and sincere. Marian Zapico filled her lead role as "Natalie" with the perfect essence of a broken woman, The lights seem green for the strong talent, its safe to expect great things from her. chemistry between the cast is undeniable, it seemed like true friends woke up one day and decided to make a good looking film. Director Pablo Veliz is further defining himself as someone to be taken very seriously in the film-making community, with names like Danny Trejo notorious bad guy behind his back one can only wonder where the path he has chosen will take him next. The Boys of Ghost town is another interesting look on where desperation can take a man ((or woman)) if I had to sum it up in one word it would be intense. With that said this movie is not for the faint of heart, so send the kids to their room kids bring your tissues plenty of popcorn or whatever your poison and strap in for The Boys Of Ghost Town.

The movie is a cross between Romeo and Juliet and Scarface! I recommend you watch the movie with a date.. There is something in it for everyone (everyone except young children).. Great cinematography... Wonderfully scored.. the music pulls you into the movie.. A very intense movie in some parts.. The tension and energy continues to builds until the very end.. The movie leaves you wanting more... The great thing is that this is a prequel to "7 Kilos" yet I believe there is still room for another movie since you really "Can't Kill a Dead Man"... It'd be nice to see where the story of the Danny Ortega character goes before "7 Kilos"... Great movie though and Danny Trejo performed to his finest and stills holds the record as Hollywoods favorite Bad Guy...

After listening to the soundtrack, I had to see this film. The Boys of Ghost Town was extremely well done - from acting to cinematography to post production to music & all of the film's facets.

The characters developed well and the score complemented the film in a way i didn't expect. The compassion for the character's internal struggles was enhanced and exemplified in the music & each character's theme - but not through heavy guitars and hard hitting drums.

The score, orchestral (featuring beautiful female vocals and a duet at one point) rather than rock, had exactly the right amount of varying emotion and the right amount of cutting edge when needed, being in the moment of the film; rather than consistently high impact (as so often seen with action movies).

The musical fluctuations created consistently more of an impact than a "street fighter" type of score would have. The music was a classification of high impact all it's own with it's intentional complexities (ranging from subtle to intense), but never going over the top, and always being exactly what the film needed at the exact moment it needed it.

I would recommend this film to friends. Great job to all involved.

The Boys of Ghostown starts off with the young Danny Ortega getting out of prison. It is the reality of one who tries to do better on the outside but society rejects him. As with all people, he happens to have a great friend, Corando, who hooks him up with a job. His true love happens to still be around and they wind up falling for each other. The evils of the world coming knocking, as Corando's client wants a hook up with some drugs. Danny is compelled to make a few dollars and gets involved. There was many good moments in the film. I was fortunate to be a cast member in this film. Having Danny Trejo be a part of it was very special. I think it was directed very well. Pablo is a great Director and I hope to work with again in the future.

The movie is great, it has it all, action, romance, comedy, ACTION all done in with great acting and most of all with a really good story line. I really recommend watching this movie. The movie is shot in San Antonio and Houston and takes advantage of the the beautiful sceneries and skylines of those cities. Cinematography, done by Eugenio Cañas is excellent. The special effects are awesome, these were done by AJ Garces as well as some of the make-up. The movie is based on true accounts of people, "friends" that we all have that were willing to share their experiences with the writer of how the drug world really is. The movie is fast paced where it needs to be and diligently slow at others. One thing that is different in this movie from the others that Pablo has done is the musical score. Douglas Edward really brought the movie together and gave it the feel of a high budget movie, very professional. As usual Danny Trejo is up to his usual antics as the "bad boy" and doesn't disappoint his fans. Keep an eye out for the Lead actors Manuel Garcia and Marian Zapico I'm sure you'll be seeing more of them soon.
