At first when I saw the trailer and the movie poster I thought to myself 'oh its another one of those B-Grade movies' lately I haven't seen a lot of B-Grade movies that were up to standards. But after watching this WOW. If you lived or seen the era of bad ass movies such as Patrick Swayze, Kurt Russell, Chuck Norris etc in the early 80's this brings back memories of how macho movies were without the need of cg graphics for explosions, excessive slow motion cutscenes or without the need of bodybuilders. This is a feel-good movie of what it is to be a man, a character that doesn't have to rely on how he looks but on his personality and how he gets by, such as helping others and being self reliant.
Danny Trejo has done a superb job of his character with his persona and his acting. Throughout the whole movie your not sure if his a vigilante, neighbourhood watch or a hero in everyday clothes. The action is protagonists against a hero who has previous combat experience as a Vietnam veteran. There is one flinching moment but its OK because afterwards the hero jokes about it in a black humour way.
At times there were funny moments but not cliché moments of catch phrases that you would see in action romp movies. The script is fairly basic but if you expect it be really sophisticated then you chose the wrong genre (no thriller or mystery elements). I would consider it better than Machete and recommend if you just want to watch it as a popcorn action flick and have a few laughs.
