... View Morei love Danny Trejo i am so happy that he is the main role in movies i loved Machete, Dead in the Tombstone i luv the movies that he is main role this movie had action but i wish the action and movie should have been better it was a bit too short they should have release the directors cut in Australia but they didn't i have no clue i liked this movie the Action, The lead actor is Danny Trejo. I really appreciate him, I like his face and the way he is acting in action movies. He looks quite bad ass. Well, I prefer the "Machete" style, but he is OK at this movie, even as a cop. i know him becoming a bad guy to good guy because sometimes i get bored when he plays the bad guy all the time all the time Danny Trejo is good guy i wanted watch this movie because he is main role i luv movies with him as main role. the action scenes a bit of car chasing was awesome not much of car chase but it did good scene with he stabbed the guy in the eye with a becoming weapon pen in the eye that was awesome i didn't get the chance to see that in Machete Franchise the shooting was awesome in hotel area witch is awesome scenes specially he did a trap he put guy in the car 2 guys pulled him out the guy in car had a hand grenade behind him get Blown up very awesome not much gore shame ! i like the awesome car what Danny drives black car suits for this movie with this character fighting cage scene was awesome when Danny was fighting with the guy 70 years old man was doing push up witch is good to keep trejo fit Danny trejo should do more boxing movies like this cage fighting film couple of them were like that of his movies the fight was lucky awesome scene but there is gore in this movie not muchas Machete or Dead in the tombstone witch i like that better the Villains were (Johnathan Banks) from breaking bad was OK didn't do the best, villains are lame a bit i find them lame don't do much not much entering as Danny Trejo Character Bullet witch is trying to be like Machete to Bullet. movie has a very short storyline that is A tough cop takes the law into his own hands when his grandson is kidnapped. i mean it is kinda lazy needed more of movie and story Johnathan banks son died from lethal injection that's why he wanted to kidnapped grandson there is a lot gore in movie Johnathan had golf bat hit the guy thousands of times all blood went into the screen a lot of it witch was awesome the rest of scenes were like a bit poor made i like this movie for me 5/10 it could of have been better movie like Machete.
... View MoreCarlito Kane kidnaps the Governor's daughter and her significant other in order to free Carlito's son Manual Kane. They kill the young man to show how serious they are.Shortly thereafter, Carlito kidnaps Frank's grandson Mario, then attempts to force Frank to recant his testimony against Manual. Vanessa (Frank's daughter, Mario's mother) uses the money Frank gave her (which he won from prize fighting) to buy drugs. After she attempts suicide, Frank takes her to emergency. In the meantime, the Governor takes Carlito's trumped up evidence to force the Attorney General to have Frank arrested.Frank does get arrested, but he and the cops sort things out. Frank goes rogue for a while, handing in his badge, even though he does not have to do so.Does Frank get Mario back? Does the governor's daughter get rescued?-----Scores-----Cinematography: 7/10 OK, not great.Sound: 6/10 A bit out of control on levels at times. The actors seemed to be miked OK.Acting: 6/10 Danny Trejo and Jonathan Banks are their usual menacing, intimidating selves. John Savage gave a sub-par performance, which I did not expect. The other actors were forgettable, except for the terrible Torsten Vorges.Screenplay: 4/10 Throughout the film, I was confused as to whether Frank ever was a righteous cop. Early on, he kills a couple of cops, for instance. I was surprised to see that he had a badge a bit later. After the large number of felonies that he committed, I did not see how he was not arrested. When Frank and the kids leave the site of his killing spree, I wondered how many years of therapy those two would need later on. They leave happy, though. Sigh.
... View MoreHaving seen many Trejo movies, and having loved many of them (not all mind you, just many), I was disappointed with this one.In order to make a old man into a larger than life figure, you need to pull off a small miracle. You need to bend and direct the audience's perception juuuuust right. Machete pulled it off, but Bullet simply does not. Danny does not truly appear as a larger than life character who takes charge and lives life dangerously, but instead as a nearly retired cop who has too many problems. I confess that I don't have the technical movie knowledge to adequately explain what I'm trying to say.I can only say that the movie felt.. like the illusion was empty.Trejo's movies are usually somewhat outlandish, heavy on the "grindhouse" style, and inventive. This film has none of that. It seems that the director decided to try making it more dramatic instead. The fun and vivacious extremity I was expecting was instead replaced with old cop movie clichés.The acting was poor because it tried too hard, the execution was plodding and halting. The special effects were disappointingly poor. It seems the director and editor had no concept of what I like to call "vicinity errors". These occur when the objects being used in the scene do not correctly stay in their places from scene to scene, or their behavior defies the common sense expectations of the viewers. Essentially, the area around the actors isn't correctly used. Bullets hitting their targets too long after being fired, objects being there one second and gone the next, or a character taking his hat off twice in the same scene without putting it back on in between.. These are vicinity errors and are usually are the result of bad editing. This movie has too many of them.It was not a bad film. It just simply didn't shine with any of the usual Trejo brilliance.
... View MoreBad acting throughout.Bad direction throughout.Bad acting throughout.Poor story throughout.Bad acting throughout.Poor plot devices throughout.Oh, and did I mention the bad acting throughout?The story starts reasonably OK, but quickly descends into a mindless mess with poor continuity and random scenes that make no sense. For example, having been kidnapped, the hero jumps out of a moving van only to find his car parked right next to where he jumped out... Well, that's just handy as they can now have a mandatory action film car chase can't they?Very low budget film that has not used the little budget it had in an intelligent manner at all.Only worth watching if you are in the mood for a laugh at how poor film making can get. A shame really as Danny Trejo was good in the Machete films, but then they did not take themselves seriously as this clearly does.Avoid.
