Bullet

I love to see Danny Trejo acting, so I'm familiar with almost all of his movies. This movie in particular have a common plot but in a different manner, what makes this a 4.5-5.0 rating is the poor directing, many scenes were bad and never made again, in other words with a good director this movie would get a 5.5-6.0 rating. Danny Trejo is Danny Trejo. What else can you say? That stoic face delivers good lines and those hammer-fists deliver country-boy style beat-downs. You can just tell these two guys, along with the rest of the cast, had a boatload of fun making this action packed film and prove once again that producers don't necessarily have to use high-end special effects and martial arts to make a great action flick. Give me a good story and some solid acting like this film delivers.

BRIEF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Whatever shortcomings the film may have, the Blu-ray will blow your frigg'n PANTS off!

It's very interesting that another reviewer here mentions a completely different Director's Version distributed by another company. I don't personally know anything about that, but I DID just finish watching the U.S. release and I can kind of see what he means.

Without knowing that there is another version, my first thought also was that the directing or something was a little off... But, maybe it might have been the USUAL producers meddling with it in post-production. But, it still is a fun enough 80 minutes or so. A bit of a shame too... Because with sharper editing or better scene choices I think the film could have been much more effective. They should have just left the Director's original intention alone (as usual...)

Trejo does his usual Kick@ss job, and a few of his lines are great. My favourite was the one he said after dealing with the French lawyer. Pretty funny. And, OF COURSE, Jonathan Banks is ALWAYS awesome.

Bloody BEAUTIFUL car too! (and I have a Classic 1969 Mustang, but even so...)

There is some fun to be had here. Just try your best to overlook whatever studio meddling was done and enjoy it for the CHEEEEEEEEEZ that it is. Sit back and relish Jonathan Banks and Danny Trejo's Bad@ssedness, and you should have a fun ride...

This movie will keep you interested only if you are the action lover. There's actually nothing new in the story. But one can always watch it as a time pass action flick. It's a revenge story without intense action and thrill. Although the movie is a cheap one, it doesn't look that way. The storytelling feels a bit messy at some parts but the movie is pleasant because of it's simplicity. Both the hero job and villain job are okay and it's what needed for an action movie. Visually, the movie is quite peaceful. For me, it was just an average movie, nothing more, nothing less. There are lot better movies than this, and you won't lose anything if you miss it.

This was even more of B movie than I expected, with embarassingly bad but entertaining editing and really ugly cinematography. However, Danny Trejo is rather charming and some of the fighting and shooting scenes are quite okay.

So the movie is not a blockbuster, but its not a crappy B-movie either. It fit's somewhere in between. It's a flick for guys with a few laughs thrown in amid gritty action scenes, we even get a few 'bullet' time shootouts that are pretty nicely done.

Danny Trejo is Danny Trejo. What else can you say? That stoic face delivers good lines and those hammer-fists deliver country-boy style beat-downs.

Jonathan Banks works nicely opposite Trejo delivering a performance just as edgy as he gave in Breaking Bad. These two together on screen just doesn't get any better in my humble opinion.

You can just tell these two guys, along with the rest of the cast, had a boatload of fun making this action packed film and prove once again that producers don't necessarily have to use high-end special effects and martial arts to make a great action flick. Give me a good story and some solid acting like this film delivers.

Like a fine wine, Trejo and Banks only get better with age. I look forward to seeing these two in a film together soon.
