    Fantastic film!

    Director Brett Harvey takes a thoughtful and very inspiring look at a fascinating individuals life journey. The highs, the lows and the triumphant message of hope keep the viewer entranced. Highly recommended!

    What a story. Fantastic movie.

    Just got out of a viewing of this movie and I really don't know how you could create a better biographical documentary. Dany Trejo is clearly an amazing human, he has an amazing story and the movie was really well made. Positive message, heart warming and good laughs. Truly an unbelievable life story.

    Awesome movie!

    Watched the world premiere last night at the Calgary film festival. It was so good. I left the theatre so I inspired. I would recommend this film to everyone.

    A rather spectacular story of a great man

    This was a really outstanding film about hope and redemption, a man who's life could have gone sideways found a way out, a way up and is now using his Mojo to bring inspiration into people's lives. What can you say about that in this day in age of over-bloated Hollywood actors who don't have the time of day for people.

    A guy like Trejo is very refreshing, this guy really seems to be putting his heart and soul into helping people, inspiring people, changing lives, and giving people hope.

    Especially when you consider the lack of role models in the Latin Street Community this guy's a bit of a real life superhero, and truly a beautiful soul.

    This film was very well directed, the director just let Trejo shine through, and it is a very rewarding film.

    • Trivia
      Brett Harvey discovered one of the biggest problems trying to film a conversation with Danny Trejo while he's driving around his local areas (something he loves to do) was the constant interruptions of passers-by shouting "Trejo" or "Machete" at him. These had to be edited out.
